Potbelly Sandwich Works Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Health benefits pay time off

Paid time off 401k 50% match

Review from Sales Dept

The best part of the package wrte thr benefits

It can help that the best they can do

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Just being recognized for coming in already trained as well as finishing training b4 emplees that have been there since opening having the most customer reviews

I dont recieve any benefits and im a manager. I dont even get enough hours that i was promised when i first started. I have bills

I felt undervalued and was giving my best to managers who took advantage and only wanted to throw me under the bus to escape their own lack of accountability, disorganization and filth associated with certain stores . My compensation would've made me feel better if I wasn't spending on parking daily

I pay to park everyday and it's 10 to 15 a day I don't receive a parking pass etc. And I only get paid 14.50 n hour . I have been there for 11 months now and don't want to find another job but it's becoming to expensive to work here.

pay declined $2 with no notice or document.

If my manager is going to leave all manager duties to their employees and supervisors, i should be making manager pay.

Potbelly is way behind on paying their employees as wages have risen with the cost of living.

I have been working here for 7 years with no PTO, while employees that started a year ago make the same as me, do get PTO, and been caught stealing or off drugs on the job with no punishments.

Because when you work more, you have to pay more

Review from Sales Dept

laughed at when I asked about training certificate to receive $15/hr

Better pay for all employees

If they didn’t take our bonuses during the pandemic that would have been great. If they paid their rent during the pandemic that would have been fantastic. If my DM didn’t ask..”what can I do for you,how can I help” but then throw it in your face a month later “ you are asking for so much

This company made me depressed

I feel undervalued because i don't get to have bonuses when i've worked for the compant for almost 4 years. I'm a ct, and i've never recieved a raise because associates/ct can't get them. I'm extremely valued in my store because i'm the longest employee there, the mangers have left. I deserve more

Review from Sales Dept

Because I’m frequently ranked as the top performer on the team but my pay does not reflect that
