Pros

Plenty of room for advancement. Excellent opportunities for learning other sectors of management via cross training. Meritorious raises based on level of skills.

Cons

There are strong overtures of "preference of employees" not based upon work ethics or personal abilities to perform duties.

Pros

I like the people that I work with in my department. I like that I have had the ability to learn and expand my role, which I took the initiative to do. Work life balance is okay because of my current position.

Cons

There was no real training. I am not being compensated for the extra roles I have taken that are completely outside of my original scope of work or job description. My boss is emotional and not very professional.

Pros

There were always awesome people to work with. The customers were great as well. I enjoyed my time with this company before everything went down hill. I had a lot of fun and learned everyday. I didn't mind being on call or having to mandate people. I really truly was happy with this company for over a decade.

Cons

I worked with this company for 20+ years. I was loyal to them, however, they weren't loyal to me. I saw my first job with them get phased out for no reason even though I increased food sales every year along with customer satisfaction ratings that increased. My second job with them, I was promoted to GM and then demoted down to Food Supervisor which was just a fancy title for a cashier. I went from 50,000/yr to 12.50/hr. I don't see how that is fair to a veteran employee. I'm really just disappointed in them.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. I'm sorry to hear about the situation you have described, as it sounds like you have been a loyal employee for many years. While I cannot speak to this exact scenario, I highly recommend discussing this with your HR Director to determine why something like this would have happened and how it can be addressed. It's fantastic that you enjoyed working with your colleagues and customers for all of that time, and I hope you are able to find that again.
