Since my start (~5yrs) leaders continuously promote underqualified workers to positions up to field leader, that clearly lead to future problems. You also have to be close to team directors and know people to have a good chance of being promoted; it's not just on merit alone anymore.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Hiring those great team members that lift everyones spirit and make the day go by smoother whilst working hard. Those we want to take under our wing and teach because they'll be future leaders. Only to be taken by your boss because another store needs help, leaving you with mediocrity.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
The only way to have a perfect cohesive restaurant is if everyone has the best interest of the restaurant in mind and works like it. Unfortunately everyone has different goals in mind and those goals influence how they work. One way to keep that in check would be to have strog leadership.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
This company borderline impedes you from having a personal life. On days off your boss is constantly calling/messaging and expects you to answer or get back asap. If you dont you have a talk in person about why there was no answer and how that shows one isnt entirely invested. This includes vacation
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Not much to be honest. It seems our mindset moved towards doing anything to hit our metrics and being at model as opposed to facing reality and working towards laying a strong foundation. We're quick to promote under the requisite that all we need to know from crew positions is enough to teach them.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I feel undervalued because as a manager here i do so much more than would be required at any other conpany. For example a single manager at Panera would be in charge of just inventories, whilst here we're in charge of that, food orders, inspections, etc. and their compensation matches that of an AP.
