Pros

For the most part Decent pay, great coworkers, employee discounts, somewhat flexible with the schedule, not bad for a college PT job

Cons

The managers don't really care about you. You are a pawn for Cracker Barrel and the will expect you to do everything that Cracker Barrel asks of you for minimal compensation.

Pros

Great benefits, 401k, health insurance, dental and vision, employee discount 35%, paid vacation and bonus program. Company is growing, opportunity to move anywhere (except west coast).

Cons

55-65+ hour work weeks, lack of consistency at store level, no follow-through from higher up managers, unable to competitively pay hourly staff while upper executive make over six figures. Disorganized home office, continuing to put out information to stores with mistakes, lack of man power at home office to make corrections in a timely manner or to give the tools needed to accurately be able to report accurate numbers.

Pros

Family oriented business that truly cares about hourly employees. Paid vacations and advancement opportunities for all positions. Employee discount that applies to restaurant and retail.

Cons

Management's employee experience isn't treated with the same respect as hourly employees. Expectations may be unrealistic at times with the resources provided. Outdated processes for food preparation.
