Pros

Meet a lot of people that are good friends. Good pay as well.

Cons

Multiple half witted changes. Bonus structure poorly rolled out. Long hours and time put in only to get told you’re not doing enough. Shady business practices like trying to replace you behind your back without warning. No culture whatsoever and only focused and chasing a fleeting profit by giving away so many discounts and deals. All frozen items, so no culture in cuisine as well CEO visits were told that “he would be working along side us” and to “be in the trenches with us” instead it’s just an excuse to fly out and bash OPs who he perceives are not working because of low traffic numbers. Expect us to do local marketing on top of no hosts in the morning, a fleeting boh because of drastic hour cuts that are needed because the company spent so much money on frozen items and no we have to pay for it?

Pros

The pay is good, above market.

Cons

Inconsistent leadership makes it hard for us to do our jobs. Last minute rollouts with zero time to prepare the team. You sell your life away to the company at my position, your “off” time is not cared for. You are expected to reply to emails on vacation and track labor. Market partners are out of touch with today’s times and work life balance is nonexistent to this company. We grid all year working for our end of year bonus, that we are constantly being reminded about, only to be told the month we are to get it that we are not. 2024 bonus=“we will pay you in installments” 2025 bonus= “we don’t have the money” Red flags all around.
