* Too much intervention from leadership that can’t even run a shift, but can tell you how you should be doing it.
*Predatory practices regarding promotions from within, regardless of tenure or ability, the employee has zero ability to affect pay structure. Made to feel if they don’t accept the “offer letter” they will be passed up immediately. Just call it a Compensation Mandate or Non-Negotiable Compensation Structure.
*Expectations from leadership become more and more unrealistic and stringent to the point of oppressive.
*Documentation structure is inhuman and never resets after any period of time, regardless of tenure. And separation can make you non-rehireable in perpetuity regardless of the severity of the infraction.
*Certain parties are able to function without any real oversight or consequence to their actions, regardless of how intolerable.
* Camera Audits are performed so much that it creates an atmosphere of paranoia and backstabbing is encouraged.
* Customer Complaints are slanted against the locations, enabling habitual complainers to be rewarded.
* Area leaders can be tyrannical individuals that care about things that do not relate to the success of the business. Like race, beliefs, and how a person looks.
* Leadership is like a fraternal club and functions to hold certain people back.
* Has become more of a soulless corporate entity in how it handles itself rather than the quirky and fun place it used to be, where you can have fun and work hard.
* Long hours, late shifts. And they are trying to stay open even longer.
* Terrible work/life balance and high strain on mental health.
