Pros

There are honestly very few pros to working at Raising Canes. When you first start it will seem like it is the ideal place to work, but as you continue you'll realize it's not.

Cons

The main con I would say is the managers and pay. In my interview they said "We pay you a little bit more than other places to show that we really value you as an employee." Well, that's completely false. All other fast food establishments pay at least .50$ to 1.00$ more than us an hour. They definitely don't pay the employees enough and buy the cheapest possible equipment which makes your job much harder. When it comes to management, they don't really do anything. At my store, there were managers that had never even work at Canes before this so they were learning how to do things as we learned from them. Another thing is the fact that they do not respect employees. Every day I worked somebody, including myself, would get ridiculed, screamed at, and harassed. Another thing I noticed is that when you put in your two weeks they make sure to schedule you the normal about of time, but they put you in the worst position possible and make you do ridiculous tasks. (Example: making me get down on all fours and scrub the floor.) Finally, they do not offer breaks at Canes. I once worked a 15 hour day and was only offered a 15 minute break after I said I needed one or else I couldn't do it. Often times you will work an 8 hour day and not get a break. If I were you and I was thinking about applying to Canes, please don't. You can find a better job that pays more and where people show respect for employees.

Pros

-Fellow peers are often lovely to be around and helpful. -3 of 10 managers at my store are genuinely nice. -Flexible scheduling. -Our regular customers are very nice. -Pay is decent. -Easy work, even when busy. (Although it can be stressful from time to time.

Cons

-Only 50% off meals for crew. -Favoritism of crew members by management is abundant. -Bad hours, they keep shifts short if you aren't favorited. -They rely on the majority of their crew being teenagers and not knowing their rights. -Crew is often refused breaks when upper-management visits. (They will comp meals if you ask, but if you don't they will try to get away without it.) -Certain managers constantly berate and belittle crew members. -Because the company is growing more corporate and profit focused, it is becoming less focused on doing right by the crew and treating them well. -Everything has become more and more about penny-pushing and overzealous metrics. -The company likes to portray themselves as being crew-focused and wanting to support the little guy, but that is not how they actually conduct themselves in the treatment of their team.
