Pros

As a server at Cracker Barrel, the money is fast. The job is not very hard, food safety is a major issue. and the atmosphere is wonderful.

Cons

the only bad part about this store is the management staff is unorganized. They don't communicate well when is comes to employee scheduling.

Pros

-Fast paced -Friendly staff -Flexible schedules -Great place to learn the art of being a server -35% off food and store items when par 4

Cons

-A little too fast paced. -Store is more interested in making sales than guests experience. With the new "seat to eat" system items move out of the kitchen so fast often times they are served incorrectly and more often than not servers don't get to run their own food. -Will work you to death if you let them. -Constantly messing up availability. -Wont let you get 40 hours. -Poor tips. -Will promote people based on seniority rather than talent.
