Pros

I have been privileged to have experience some amazing events under The Yellow Sign. Over the years I have honed my Private investigator skills to expert status. I other words always be on guard for acts of buffoonery. I truly must admit the employee relationships, customer interactions and local community events are golden. There are many decent blue collar, hard working individuals within the organization that once you get to know, their likeability is insisted upon.

Cons

I am a surviving witness that this company for many is a life sucking abyss. The degree of inept managers is paramount. Every level of management (District, Division, AVP, SVP,........Board of Directors) are accomplished truth benders. There are continuous plots occurring behind closed doors to further others favor in the pecking order. Trust no one, guard your words carefully, and keep your mouth shut, if you are seeking promotion. Promotion is another skittish topic. If you are the best operator, produce results that are positive, and hit all bonus marks, moving up the corporate ladder maybe impossible if you are not in favor of the powers that be. You must be controllable, be a YES man, and have a brownish streak down your nose. The majority of upper management are uneducated good ole boys and girls who knows everything there is to know about increasing employee morale, encouraging input from others, and retaining good workers. One last note; the new CEO Walt possed a questions once. Why does Chick-fil-A building look so much better than Waffle House? News Break, they have a professional crew maintaining their facilities not the managers. Has anyone notice how hardly any poster will recommend this company? Also almost all of the post read the same?
