Pros

Paid Vacation Sick Time Good Benefits

Cons

Abusive management Negative work environment Gossipy co-workers Punished for using sick time if ever needed Not allowed to take vacation time even though it is available to use Playing favorites Co-workers quit on the spot because of the abuse Write up good workers so the company does not have to pay for raises Food Service Workers run this dish room even though it is not mentioned as a responsibility during interviews Management will not break employees, yet employees still are punished if they do not take breaks Management will not work with the schedules of their co-workers They will mess up your new availability, refuse to fix it, tell you to figure you out, and punish you if you cannot come in one day (college students especially) They work co-workers with 103 degree fevers and will not let them go home or take additional breaks They will take away your hours when they are blowing their sales out of the water Micromanagement and harassment are issues They do not care if you struggle with a chronic condition. They will not accomodate you. They do not follow company values They will have you in the dish room for months at a time and not care if you get hurt This location does not practice sustainable practices I could go on...

Pros

The people who work here are generally hard working and fun to be around. The culture was great and there are still pockets of the old culture left where it's a good company to be at.

Cons

Hard work only leads to more hard work and not advancement. There are no reasons at all to work hard here. Incentives have been removed from doing even the most basic of tasks, no one takes any responsibility for how their co workers act or how their departments are run. We re-organized to be "Customer Centric" and country management has done everything in their power to remove any ability for co-workers or team leads to actually assist customers. New hires make more than people who have been here for years, setting up the incentives of pay completely backwards so people will want to quit and get re-hired just to get a raise.
