      Pros

      flexible schedule they promote from within frequent pay rasies some opportunities to be traveling trainer or crew trainer NO tip outs to a bus boy, host or bartenders (because there isn't a bar)

      Cons

      teamwork is stressed. so stronger servers do more than weaker ones. bills are low there, you have to make money by table turnover since they dont' have a bar, you aren't going to be learning anything about beer, wine and liquor that would benefit you at other restaurant.

      Pros

      There are many Crackerbarrel stores nationwide and allow employees to transfer very easily. Once you pass the par tests you can earn more money and get discounts on benefits

      Cons

      Every store has different rule and regulations to follow Management does not always manage fairly among all of the employees

      Pros

      When I was a server at the Cracker Barrel, I rarely made less than $10 an hour in tips, plus the $2.83 hourly base pay. Shifts went by quickly, and the customer turn-around was very quick. I rarely felt overwhelmed, as each server allowed a very manageable number of tables.

      Cons

      At times I felt the management was incompetent, and that the store would be better run by someone who has worked there a long time, rather than managers who undergo training for that position only.
