very poor management and unnecessary $$$

Pros

The customers are nice and some of the food isn't bad..

Cons

The franchise I work for is owned by one person but run by someone else. The person who manages the locations has very poor management skills and there is a lot of turnover. The turnover in the three locations, Pikesville, Timonium and Belair is due to her inability to manage people. Also people pay a lot more than they need to. The food is expensive enough. They do a hard sell to get you to spend unnecessary money which is usually about a thousand dollars or more. You can buy the food on line and avoid extra charges the frachises will get you for. They talk about a great work and life balance but you have to work every single Saturday so you never have two days off together.

Pros

Client interaction was extremely positive, welcoming environment, everyone had a team player attitude which helped to increase morale.

Cons

They started eliminating bonus incentives which made morale plummet. The desire to increase sales took away from the ability to give clients the service they needed.
