Yum! Brands reviews about "people"

Constant shifting of leadership and focus

-Tone Deaf Management -No interest in Expansion -

1. Very stressful fast paced work environment (7/10 times) 2. Short staffed on many occasions leading to more stress. 3. Toxic or positive work culture depends on management team (store manager & area coach) 4. Paid leaves can sit with manager for approval which many times managers refuse to approve if its for longer periods which is unprofessional. 5. Different kinds of personalities meaning you might not always get along with everyone which is okay but some might try and make it seem like harassment and racism when it is not.

This is not the Yum of yesteryear. The company is undergoing many changes and the move of KFC US HQ to Plano, TX is one of my questionable decisions. No longer allowing remote employees. The culture is not what it was before covid much less even longer ago.

Pay raises are typical for a larger firm, can be at times very rigid

3 days in office (was previously 1-2), tight project timelines, multiple structure changes in the last few years

Yum has some issues with leadership, specifically in 2025 with the organizational changes that are currently underway. The new leadership coming in have changed the company in such a way that it feels like a wildly different company than it was in 2023 and 2024. Many of the employees are currently in a state of confusion and anxiety with the direction of the company because there is no clear path forward, and many are left wondering if their jobs are safe and what their job even is. Teams have been dissolved, restructured, and people are being laid off en masse. Another huge issue at Yum is the direction they take with the tech architecture. The general approach from upper management is "put a bandaid on it" rather than trying to fix problems the right way, even if it might take a little longer. This ends up compounding on itself, creating much bigger problems in the future, and they don't seem to care as long as they feel like the immediate problem has been resolved. I believe this approach is a large part of their current problems with restructuring - they're backtracking and paying the price on bad decisions made in the past. Management wants to be told yes, and don't want to hear, "there's a problem with this solution because of x y z". They also seem to be pushing for a return to office, so if you're looking for a remote position, this may not be the place to go.

Nothing as such for now
