Pros

-Flexible hours -Benefits if you need them -Cracker Barrel cares program is awesome! -Four Park levels; small raise per level completed -Open Door policy -Cross training if you desire for more hours

Cons

- Constantly having to remind manager in charge of schedule to attain my required amount of hours. Sometimes they remember, other times I get ridiculous scrawny hours. -Each position is part time only, so you'll have to do more than one position to reach full time if you apply for anything other than server. -depends on the person, I like going into overtime, but if you do and they don't catch it, you're penalized in the next schedule with fewer hours to make up for it..

Retail Store Employee

Pros

Flexible schedule, raises everytime you reached a new PAR level (the stars you see on the aprons)

Cons

Constant 30 minute or less meetings that you would have to get into full uniform for and it wasn't even worth the gas to go there for less than 30 minutes. Barely any hours, at max I would have 10 hours a week. Low staff in the retail store. Having to reach certain goals every hour which wasn't so bad but if someone comes in with a return, then it went against your goal for the hour and made you look bad which did not make any sense.
