Pros

Fun menu although time consuming to make everything. This freshness is also its attractiveness. Fun atmosphere if you’re young and can do 10 hour shifts no break barely time for a bathroom break.

Cons

No breaks, ever. Open until 4am, you don’t leave till 530-6. Every store I’ve seen in the southeast has that 1-2 managers that only work mornings. This leaves anyone else coming in to work all nights. Turnover rate at corporate, GM and manager level as well as employees is insanely high. They tell you this is the restaurant industry. That’s not true. Worked places and currently work somewhere that there’s almost no turnover. Their excuses for failures instead of working on them is what makes this company a complete pass for anyone who isn’t desperate. Avoid this place if you value your life and don’t want to live at your job.

Pros

Great DO for the market who really cares about the team and everyone in each restaurant.

Cons

Long hours. Going away from what made VT unique and special in the beginning. Not as fresh as we used to be. More canned items added.
