Pros

Compensation at the director level and above Bonus payouts Equity payouts DRSO is great but the the last two years have been awful for people to find just a cubicle or office Office parties if you’re into that. Benefits are solid. Arching employee culture is good, but executive subculture will be explained in the cons.

Cons

If your role at any point intertwines with the CO-CEO, your work life will be just dealing with chaos. The level of indecision and constant changing of direction will leave you to be unsuccessful… and you’ll get blamed for “not being aligned.” Everything runs through one funnel which is the CO-CEO. He makes both strategic and small tactical decisions (like where people sit at the office). There’s no free thought. You have to make it seem like your idea was a brain child of the CO-CEO’s idea. Not sure if it’s an ego thing, or simply lack of trust, but everything is stalled until the CO-CEO says to move. You’re treated as you’re not smart enough to come up with a strategy unless it was brith by the CO-CEO. And when things reach a critical point, you get blamed for stalling. Cane’s spends a ton of money… and when you state that there’s a better way, you’re accused of, again, “not being aligned.” The people that work there are genuine and do good work. Everyone has drank the Kool-Aide and wants to make Todd’s vision happen. The most toxic person unfortunately sits at the top.

Pros

There's only pro's if you're an extrovert and if your store has cool management

Cons

Basically every part of the job is a con, you're beyond overworked, pressured past human limits and belittled publicly if you speak up for yourself. They pick the least qualified people to move up and management is disturbingly lazy. If you aren't super outgoing/social you will be an outcast immediately. I worked closing shifts, instead of getting out by 4:30am we'd get out around 5:30am because nobody is properly trained, management doesn't care and hides in the office most of the night, so you rely on the few solid workers to do ALL of the closing duties. They don't treat you like you're a human being, they rarely give out breaks if you aren't a minor. They also don't give you a free meal, instead it's ”50%" off but the prices regularly are insane, so even with a discount you're still paying about $4 for a kid's meal with a piece of toast. That's 2 tiny pieces of unseasoned chicken, a tiny barely salted portion of fries, a mini drink and 1 sauce. You have to buy the toast for extra. Don't work here unless you have nerves of steele, are extremely social, and can handle being overworked and mistreated.
