Pros

Flexible hours, more or less. and discounted food - which wasn't even that great, because it used to be free before the greedy Marwaha Group took over.

Cons

This is corrupt. Myself and my coworkers were forced to work overtime - OFF THE CLOCK - I.E., UNPAID - I kid you not - OVERTIME with absolutely NO PAY AT ALL - we were forced to clock out yet had to keep working til the job was done whenever we closed at night, under threat of getting fired or let go. This sounds like slavery to me. It's illegal and subway needs to be brought to justice.

Pros

No high expectations, as in not results driven, if you are a slacker and yes-person you can wing it for life

Cons

Management revolving door - there is a new person every week with a new slogan on reviving sagging sales, becomes the mantra until another one walks in. Every year new slogan with no strategy on achieving objectives Lifers / sclerotic bureaucracy A soft structure with no accountability Cost-cutting and franchisees drive management Always chasing after Panera and McDonald’s (the enemy). No hard values just slogans - made up before each annual convention
