Pros

They do provide opportunity to advance from the hourly level on.

Cons

Not enough managers to execute as expected. Company is moving away from the core values it grew on.

Doherty Enterprises Response

Hello and thank you for taking the time to write a review. It is pretty awesome that we promote over 20% of our hourly workforce to management each and every year! Regarding not having enough managers, it is hard for me to speak to this without knowing specifically what area/brand you are referring to. I can tell you that we based this on the business. In fact we have several restaurants that have 6-8 managers per location. Thank you as well for the advice feedback, we conduct round tables, engagement surveys, training evaluations to name a few to gather feedback from our teams and then we collaborate on best solutions. I would love to speak to you further to gain additional insight to your feedback. Please feel free to reach out to us or our HR Resolve it line. Thank you-Joanne JShannon@dohertyinc.com

Pros

The quality of life is excellent. We are treated very well compared to other restaurant companies that tend to abuse salaried managers. Here we stick to our 50 hour work week. Our schedules are well balanced which also is a huge plus.

Cons

The only real con is that due to the company taking very good care of it's people there are countless managers that have been around 10 to 15 years so advancement to upper management can be tough.
