IT Turn Over

Pros

Food Discount, Good Facilities, Covered Parking

Cons

IT Management not in focus with the business unit’s needs. Out of control turn over, 18 folks in less than 6 months out of a staff of 60. IT Management does not understand the QSR business, they think they do. Benefits are not the best, no vacation time for the first 12 months you are hired.

Pros

If you're passionate about the quick service restaurant industry, then this is a great place to work with one caveat - stay in restaurant operations.

Cons

The corporate office has a very different culture than the restaurant operations. This review is from the corporate office perspective. They have worked hard in an attempt to paint a picture of the culture by defining a set of values, guiding principles and a lofty vision statement - Great Company, Great Burger. However, from my experience, it seems their actions and processes do not align with those words. The culture is reminiscent of the Orwell book 1984 - lots of "doublethink", groupthink and leadership by intimidation and/or exercise of power/authority.
