Too many hours - fake "culture"

Pros

Discount on food, 401K, You save money since your working 50+ hours a week. You learn the deep dark secrets of food service like spoiled greens and who uses what sauces.

Cons

This was the single worst environment I ever worked in. They schedule you 50+ hours a week YEAR ROUND, It doesn't matter if its peak season or not. My GM would claim he never takes breaks but then go on smoke breaks off and on all day causing you to never know if a key was up front, resulting in poor customer service. Other key holders, stock leads or anyone who knew how to use a LDT scanning gun could make cycle counts for the closing manager (example counting 1000 unboxed metal pie tins) as a form of retaliation. No sales culture at all, your just a stock boy even at Asst. manager level.

Pros

Great Co-Workers, decent salary, benefits, tons of new opportunity with new stores.

Cons

50hr work weeks is not necessary for 90% of the year. Around Christmas and Grad Season sure. There is no reason to work us 50 hours a week, first chance most of us get we are going to leave for a normal full time job.

Pros

Private family owned company which means no greedy stockholders to answer to. Great profit sharing/401K program. Excellent benefits, including tuition reimbursement, adoption assistance, employee discounts, etc. Christian company. Financial rewards for performance.

Cons

Cornerstone values and culture lost at the divisional level. Middle management are a bunch of "yes men" that don't support the people that report to them. Long hours, week nights and Sunday work. More concerned about expense management and head count than sales building. Individual departments are more concerned with personal success than the success of the entire team. Most of the strong leaders have left the company and have been replaced by puppets.
