Cracker Barrel reviews

I came to the job expecting it to involve hard work, potentially getting dirty, cleaning, and working with customers. None of those bothered me. However, the attitude is very paternal, and in a negative way. There is no autonomy. Among the things they do are making you carry clear plastic pocketbooks so that they can make sure you aren't stealing (which works well to prevent theft, but carrying personal items out in front of people staring is humiliating). They also base hours on how well a cashier suggestive sells items at the register. So, if you are not able to sell the candy after someone has had dinner and dessert, you get less hours. I saw people around me who were getting almost no hours and who were working very hard (and were told in front of me that the above was the reason).

Not a lot of respect from upper level management at store level. If your not willing to dedicate your every thing you wont last long, High management turn over at store level and even DM level.
