General manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Sort of a family atmosphere

Cons

Family atmosphere ( backstabbing employees and mangers, lying, no professionalism) Hired to replace GM of petersburg, never revieved communication beyond date hired, left in limbo with HORRIBLE excuse of a training manager.. Maybe 2 years of GM experience, claimed she was employed there since she was 10 years old.? Made up policies, long term staff quitting, new staff quitting, 3rd staff expected to be better?! ONLY 7 STORES no future! Just false hope! NO computers, everything is MANUAL including an unessecary inventory of ALL products including paper and cleaning supplies.. Welcome back to the 1970's!

Pros

The managers are flexible with hours, and if they are nice they will let you take home free food.

Cons

Horrendous pay. Started at minimum wage ($7.70), state law moved it to $7.85, and got a nickel raise after a year. ($7.90). If you are in a bad location, most customers smell like thrift shops and weed. Customers are picky, and there is almost never enough chicken for them so it makes you look like the bad guy to tell them they are not getting what they paid for. Schedules go from Tuesday to Monday, and you get the schedule for the week the Monday night or even the Tuesday morning of the week. They make up rules to get you to work, as in (a time to lean is a time to clean) even if you've cleaned everything twice. Day shift is usually quiet, and people never do the food prep they are supposed to do, and make the night crew who is already busy with the dinner rush, and takes 1-2 hours to close along with the food prep that the day crew was supposed to do.
