All the employees got along with each other and tried to help each other out and we became a small family.

Pros

The best reason to work there is because you will be able to work 40 hours and promotions are promoted within the company.

Cons

The challenges is working with the management team and they were unorganized. The company would switch RGMs every two years and there was never recognition given within the store. Documentation was not properly wrote up when it came to the store manager, district area coach, and the assistant managers. Communication within the management team was not good at all.

Pros

flexible hours, decent pay for a high schooler. Promotions are regularly available. Super easy job and can be a fun environment!

Cons

work salaried managers like dogs. Set goals for bonuses, but most stores have no real chance of reachig those goals, as food cost controls, and payroll are diculous. Also one bad customer comment for lack of cheese can also kill any chance of bonus!

Pros

Great team, good hours, good compensation, flexible scheduling, promises to move up were very motivating, training stores were extremely friendly, you could always call another store for help or advice.

Cons

District managers do not talk to each other, empty threats to keep management team in line, some customers do not show respect to employees, store manager was never available.
