Pros

-Discount on Cracker Barrel products -Most guests are nice -No tip sharing -Opportunity to cross-train in multiple positions

Cons

-Training program is underwhelming. You will spend a couple of very short days shadowing a trainer. Not nearly enough training to learn everything you need to know. -The time you're scheduled to leave is actually the time you stop accepting tables. Depending on the day, it could be up to an hour and a half after you are scheduled to leave before you actually do. -Can be impossible to get a break. -Teamwork is virtually non-existent. -Management screams at the employees in front of each other. If you're anywhere in the back of the house, you can hear it.

Pros

This job is great overall and I really attribute a lot of the positive atmosphere to the retail manger! Lazondra is the best! She is incredibly kind, encouraging, and understanding! You’ll feel very welcome starting here! She wants the best for the store, but also the best for you as a person! She’s also definitely not afraid to get out there and help out the team! Love her!

Cons

Sometimes it’s a little slow work wise, not that the restaurant itself is slow, but you can only refold the same shirt and check on the same shoppers so many times.
