Pros

Great training program. Terrific concept. Some excellent long term employees.

Cons

Uses there salaried managers as cooks. Must use your own vehicle at your own expense to pick up products for store. Makes managers call employees and tell them to not come in to work, and then makes that manager work an extra sixth day in a week to do that hourly employees job.

Pros

None. Expect getting a discount in the retail store. And the training in Tn was good but not reality was you get to your home store.

Cons

Horrible Company to work for . No work life balance and other managers and The GM was lazy and there was no communication. Let the staff do whatever they wanted and the staff always was complaining. Other managers played favorites. Plan on always having to cook due to labor in the kitchen and can't keep cooks.

Pros

The teams are pretty amazing. Once you build a good partnership with your GM things work out well for both sides of the house.

Cons

Company is doing a test that will force some managers to go from 45 hours salary to 36 hourly. Resulting in a 25% pay cut. Gave managers notice who would be a part of the test and just wants everyone to wait an undetermined amount of time to see if they will be added to test. No questions can be answered. No one has or is willing to give the answers. This move makes managers feel they serve no value.
