Noodles & Company Employee Reviews

I hate it so much

I have been in food service for 20 years. This is the most poorly run company I have ever worked for. I know of 3 different locations that are infested with rats. The area manager and district manager are aware of this. Also, constant labor law violations and harassment from GM's and Area managers

Alot of expectations from RDO and AMs whom are so far removed drom running of stores. Retention is a problem because of pay, hiring in for more than tenured employees.

Its been good but im not being paid correctly

Every store is different, overall it's a great family-oriented workplace but there are a few things managers miss and sometimes workdays feel awful.

I think the corporate leaders could connect with the field more and get our perspective, but they have us in mind with most things. The corp office is very responsive when we need assistance though.

The management is really helpful and professional it's the GM that I have a problem with

I like that a couple of the managers are very understanding.

I love the shift managers, they are all so nice and sweet.

that any team member can play a role in conveying leadership or starting it themselves

Actually being held accountable for horrible and unprofessional behavior rather than continually being allowed to dehumanize their staff and treat them as disposable robots

Following procedures,and communication with the team

Leading fairly, support and communication.

More care and concern for the well being of the employees.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Accountability and being a good example

Good and fair pay, 401k and matching, and stock discount program.

The insurance plan and other benefits

All compensation is very equal

I think the whole package was well thought out.

Review from Customer Success Dept

401k stock options with a portal

I make significantly less than new hires even though ive worked with this company for years and have been a dedicated a loyal employee. A raise and actually getting survivable hours would make it bearable. Although the management would never let that happen

More money please and thank you

Years of experience being paid less than new hires.

So eye and dental insurance you get after 3 months which is great but i don't understand why you have to wait a whole year yo get medical...it should all be 3 months. Plus i much rather have medical than anything else. Glasses and teeth can wait a medical emergency can't!

Fairness would help out a lot.

My team member coworkers make the job fun and bearable, and have trained me more than the managment team.

Review from Sales Dept

They are intelligent, candid, and most of them are quite fun to be around.

We get along good and the people that I have worked with so far are professional people

Some willing to learn and work.

Very kind and willing to help out

I think the fellow crew is great. The shift leaders are corrupt

They are not team players. When I don't have anything to do I clean my area and work my way outward. They stand around and talk. They haven't once helped me with any deep cleaning and tell me I don't need to do that. The store looks shiny again since I've started.

Teamwork. They are every man for themselves

Review from Sales Dept

Any new information in a restaurant can easily be shared in a handout or email. Less talking, more action!

Most coworkers were okay and nice

Employees will sometimes get along

Review from Sales Dept

That the managers are really understanding

Leaving the store every day

Teaching a new task to new employee

Welcoming and there to get the job done, but we have fun too

Value of people's lives outside of work.

Review from Operations Dept

Make sure Managers and general managers are being checked out How they proceed with situations and how they treat Regular employees

Politeness needs to increase asap

A better gm for this store she has done unacceptable things

People following the rules especially management. The management at this particular doesnt really give a crap about their employees.

Review from Customer Success Dept

My interviwer was nice and helpful, and kept the vibe light and friendly

Review from Sales Dept

Stong interview process with a phone call with a recruiter, then manager interview in person, then director virtual. Makes sense how they do it.

That she was super friendly and helpful with all of my questions

I felt like all of my questions were answered

Its was easy and very outgoing

Theyre too overstaffed its ridiculous

Wating on responses to many potential new hires going else where

I had 4 different interviews, which is a bit much if you ask me, like im in a leadership tole which tippically would have at least 2 interviews and im fine with but 4 was really pushing it, esspecially since i needed a job asap

They actually need to call people when they apply not weigh into the people called them to check for the Employment Most of the people apply for more than 3 jobs Usually they will go and work for the person they actually call them

The manager was extremely unprofessional during my interview. He laid sideways in the booth with his feet on the seat. He also swore several times throughout my interview.

The people I work with every day. We have a very people focused business.

Intracting with my coworkers and getting through the day to be honest

I enjoy talking to the crew members and working together.

When everything is clean and organized and we are ahead of schedule

Review from Customer Success Dept

The employee relationships, it makes the day go by quickly and smoothly.

Review from Customer Success Dept

The food is over priced, over processed garbage and the customers can tell

Customers feel portions are getting smaller and prices are getting higher

Pay long-time managers at least as much as new ones.

Get new management. Train, have employees do theor jjj in s

Prices are going up unexplained
