Pros

They do provide opportunity to advance from the hourly level on.

Cons

Not enough managers to execute as expected. Company is moving away from the core values it grew on.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to write a review. It is pretty awesome that we promote over 20% of our hourly workforce to management each and every year! Regarding not having enough managers, it is hard for me to speak to this without knowing specifically what area/brand you are referring to. I can tell you that we based this on the business. In fact we have several restaurants that have 6-8 managers per location. Thank you as well for the advice feedback, we conduct round tables, engagement surveys, training evaluations to name a few to gather feedback from our teams and then we collaborate on best solutions. I would love to speak to you further to gain additional insight to your feedback. Please feel free to reach out to us or our HR Resolve it line. Thank you-Joanne JShannon@dohertyinc.com

Pros

The quality of life is excellent. We are treated very well compared to other restaurant companies that tend to abuse salaried managers. Here we stick to our 50 hour work week. Our schedules are well balanced which also is a huge plus.

Cons

The only real con is that due to the company taking very good care of it's people there are countless managers that have been around 10 to 15 years so advancement to upper management can be tough.

Pros

They always hold our restaurants to a very high standard and keep it fresh by changing menu often. Pay is very fair and shifts are flexible within the management team

Cons

Marketing always gets poor selection of toppers and unless you are high volume sales. Need better and more common liquors. Always on edge due to so many different possible walk in inspections. We run a very safe and clean company and we don't need to pay a company to tell us that.(Eco-sure)

Thanks for taking time to complete a review. We communicated your feedback regarding toppers to the marketing team and I encourage you to reach out directly to marketing to discuss your location further. Its great to hear you share that we are a very safe and clean environment, and because we have such high standards this is why we have Eco sure. The safety of our restaurants and guests are of the utmost importance and for this reason we use Eco sure
