Pros

The staff within the restaurants

Cons

- Extremely toxic work environment - multiple failing concepts due to horrible reputation - but it always lands on marketing when it comes to fault - no work life balance - no mileage or cell phone reimbursement but FULL expectations for you to utilize them for the company (I am a parent so this infuriates me) - Volatile and unprofessional CEO. He also sells you dreams with no intention of follow through. He’s a liar and will smile in your face while lying to you. - Owner is also unprofessional and impulsive - it’s always what you can do for them - they absolutely do not care about their people - they do not care about tenure - they do not care if you’ve made the company hundreds of thousands of dollars - they will dance around doing annual reviews or salary adjustments and that’s across all concepts and positions. - they terminated my health insurance with no notice while I was on FAMLI leave (illegal) - constant revolving door of disgruntled “ex employees” because this company is ran like garbage - they play favorites - as a single mom I was denied mileage and cell phone reimbursement but when a male GM spills something on his shirt they’ll tell him to go do an $80 payout for a new shirt. - Women in this company are treated vastly different than men in general. - you will always have unease in your role because this office will pull and fire people for little to no reason at any time. 9/10 times it’s because of “budget” - but they refuse to close any of the multiple failing restaurants. My location has made my entire salary in one night on several occasions. - they had me drive from COS to Denver to demote me down to serving and bartending
