      Only Be Outgoing

      Shift leader
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Free food on every shift, thirty minute breaks for every five hours worked. Healthcare if you work 30+ hours every week. High wages

      Cons

      You will only get promotion if you have an outgoing personality. It does not matter how many years of management experience you have, or if you can show proof that you have increased revenue year after year at your past jobs. They play favorites when it comes to scheduling. Difficult to get 30+ hours every week if you don't pick up shifts.

      Offered a promotion? Be prepared to be taken advantage of.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I have been able to start to build work experience from this job. I have learned customer service, kitchen, and even some management skills.

      Cons

      From being offered a promotion, I have not been compensated for the increase in duties. Being a FOH associate, there should be no expectation for BOH duties. Excluding the inflation raises, I have gotten no compensation for taking over BOH duties. Over half of my FOH shifts are BOH duties. My manager also has begun talking to me as though I am supposed to manage her staff now. This job is good as long as you fit the bias of the manger at the store, other than that be prepared for not being compensated for your job.

      Retaliation exists

      Area manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great company with good intention Failed on execution

      Cons

      The whole company is being run by a team of people who want to please the owners. Everything they do is to make the owners happy so they won’t get in trouble. It is sad to see even HR won’t do the right things. Because…everyone is trying to lie to the owners about what is happening. And then the owners will find out from secret emails or media.
