Pros

High energy, get you drinking the cool-aide. Appear professional and well run from the outside. Attempt at training was solid, but execution and consistency once in the field were not the experience most would say they have had. The last few years some very talented and young leaders brought in; most seem to have left already; those that are remaining should be the future of the company.

Cons

Incestuous leadership at the top. Consistent non-performers stay in high level sales leadership roles, only looking out for themselves and openly talking about their compensation package and equity in the company. No team work once you leave corporate offices; great ideas always go to someone else and failure always on the lower level, newer staff. One of the most senior but most toxic sales "leaders" has not shame in hiding behind his friendship with CEO and uses that to bully others.

The Real Cons of Working at Restaurant Technologies • Mendota micromanagement madness Picture this: some mountain-side corporate overlords, chilling miles away from reality, dictating every last move like they’re playing The Sims with actual human beings. Decisions get made in some ivory-tower echo chamber, then dropped on us like we’re supposed to just vibe with it. Spoiler: we don’t. • HR: the self-appointed emperors of everything The company sells this “all in for the people” fairy tale, but let’s be real—it only applies if you’re not a manager. Once you step into that role, HR transforms from “support system” to “all-powerful deity,” handing down mandates like the law of the land, whether or not they make any sense in the real world. • Eight bosses, zero clarity Thanks to this wild “shared services” setup, you don’t just have a boss—you’ve got eight. Each one has a brand-new gospel of success they swear will save the day, while depots are basically marooned like castaways on separate islands, trying to build fires with wet matches. • Financial chaos disguised as accountability They’ll hold you accountable for a P&L that you don’t even control, wrapped inside a financial packet so messy it might as well be modern art. Imagine being judged for a math test where the answers keep rewriting themselves—yeah, that’s the gig. • Work-life balance, West Coast mirage edition Balance? Nah. On an actual open call, corporate (sorry, they hate that word—makes them sound too official) suggested managers set alarms every two hours while sleeping on the weekend just to check emails for possible HOS violations. That’s not “grind culture”—that’s insomnia disguised as leadership advice. • Bonuses: the moving-target circus Here’s the game: if you start winning, they’ll change the rules. Metrics for bonuses shift like California fault lines—always moving, always unstable. One month you’re on track to crush it, the next month they quietly tweak the percentages so your “bonus” is basically Monopoly money. • Sales untouchable, Ops expendable Sales? They’re out here spending cash like it’s a music video budget, making promises they’ll never have to keep. Meanwhile, ops is chained to spreadsheets built by someone in corporate who thinks Excel formulas = reality. In practice? Ops is left holding the bag, while sales gets to play hero. Just wait to the awards ceremony, mediocrity always celebrated to the maximum extent.
