What are pay raises like at Cracker Barrel?

pay raise, easy to get along with managers and co workers for the most part. Good employee discount on meals and the store. Easy interview

Having to deal with rude customers

Benefits available are very affordable and scheduling is flexible

PAR systems outlines raises for obtaining additional stars, but the store 'gave out too many raises' therefore I did not get a raise for completing additional trainings as outlined

Good starting salary and opportunity to get raises

Bad management, very disrespectful, and schedules are never consistent

Was a solid starter retail job. Was given training in direct store sales.

There's only so high of a raise that you're eligible for through their "star" system. Very high sales expectations.

I liked the team that I worked with.

Pay increases for loyal employees with more experience didn't match pay given to incoming employees. Often new employees made more money.

My coworkers are great and a lot of them really feel like my family. The retail manager at my location is also a pleasure to work with, and so are the restaurant mangers. Most of the regulars who come in are nice people. The 35% discount is nice.

As with any job, it can be very stressful, but coupled with low pay it becomes absolutely demoralizing. At the end of the day, we work to make money. You work so hard (cashiering, answering the phone, handling to go orders, stocking, recovering, processing the truck, floor moves, and cleaning bathrooms) for so little. I've been with the company for 5 years and I'm only at $12.75 which doesn't fully cover essentials even working 30 or more hours a week. People think cashiers know the answers to everything or are their personal punching bag when things don't go well on the restaurant side. Some of the things that have been said to me or one my coworkers are unbelievable to say the least . No room for advancement. The "shift leader" position is basically a dry promotion (more responsibility with no real increase in pay). You would think since the retail store alone makes nearly $1 million a year they could afford to pay their employees better. But don't expect more than a 25 cent raise.

Amazing place! Can go far in company

Not great pay or raises

Interview was easy, Cooking is easy because you cook the same food everyday

Low pay , Pay should have been at least $15 because of how busy the restaurant gets.

Fun work environment, nice discount, good food.

Low pay, with minimum raises.

Stable employment, rarely cut hours, fast pace, generally fair management

Non smokers don’t get many breaks, deceptive pay practices to keep long term employees (assuring that a pay increase is on the way when it isn’t),
