Cracker Barrel Complaint - Major Crack in the Barrel/ Someone call the UNION

Complaint
Review by Crack in the Barrel on 2010-10-11
I have worked at CB for over a year. I find all the prior complaints that I have read on this site to be accurate of what I have found working at CB. I feel they promote employees to scrutinize other employees. (The only thing that comes to mind is the saying "Divide and conquear") I find these kind of people are promoted at Cracker Barrel. Managers are very rude with employees to the point of I can't tell you how many waitresses I have found crying in the breakroom. I feel that CB is a class action law suit waiting to happen. . I SAY UNIONIZE

Check with your states employment commission or labor department to see what their definitions of employee abuse are and report the abuse if your employer is in violation of the laws or guidelines.

Does CB have an HR department that you can request to meet with? Do they have employee handbooks that cover items like breaks? The best thing you can do is document everything, including what steps you have taken to address the issues. Good luck and follow Alain's advice.

It won't do any good to complain to corporate...they treat everyone like crap and they just don't care. I think this company should be very ashamed, especially because they try to portray themselves as a down-home, wholesome company.....yeah right!! Then treat people better and recognize when you have good employees willing to work. I only went there for the employees not the food!

I work at store 568 in Waynesboro, Virginia. I have worked for the Barrel for over 3 years. I get 2 weeks paid vacation, I have 401 k, I have insurance which it may not be the best, but it is insurance. The insurance is a little pricy for Par 1 thru Par 3 but drops a lot when you make par 4. You get 20% off food and retail and 35 % when you make par 4. Make real good money and have a great management team, some of the best managers I have ever worked for. Chris, John, Tom, Walter, and Melissa you guys are awesome.

I have worked for tbis company for 10 years and have found the divide and conquer techinque to be unbenifitting to the teamwork philosophy. And furthermore, when you complain to corporate it is recorded and management hear who says what and will discipline with either days cut or poor sections. I am in a no win situation, I love having a job, great coworkers, insIurance and 401 K. , I am treated like a government mule and fully expect the shooting when they are done with me. Which will be soon as I cannot no longer work the 7.45 hr shift with no breaks whatsoever.
