Cracker Barrel reviews

The CEO and senior staff are out of touch with reality. The only way this company makes money is by selling and buying assets on the stock market, not actually providing a quality product. At the store level, management is a cog in a wheel with no real ability to impact sales. CBOCS feels like it owns your soul down to when you can sit down. I actually was reprimanded for sitting down one time. The level of trust within this organization is so banal that employees can only bring in clear bags and even management's personal belongings have to be searched in order to clock out at the end of the day. I still amazed that I could be given the keys and control of a $5 million dollar store but treated like a prisoner throughout the entire time of my employment. It's laughable that their motto is "people pleasin" when the only pleasing they are doing is into their own paychecks.

Most locations are understaffed in the kitchen.... cooks, backups, prep unreliable attendance and managers end up working in a position and cannot manage the operation as they were trained to do and taught never to let happen. All talk and zero staffing initiatives to keep managers in the dining room to talk to Guests and support server staff instead of working the grill line, baking bread or washing dishes when they call out sick too.
