Toxic place to work

Front of house staff

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Some staff are nice, some training on the job and good amount of hours available.

Cons

Very toxic work culture but differs between stores as they are franchises. Where I work the owner is rude and takes advantage of staff. Staffs hard work doesn’t feel fully appreciated.
