Pros

Pay is great, and our veteran help is amazing.

Cons

We are losing so many good ones. Alot of us lost our mentor several months ago. She helped so many of us and never asked for anything in return, she made this company loads of money just like some of the rest of us. She was the one that most of us called on for help and still do. Some of us are wondering: if she couldn't get help then what in the world will happen to us when we need it??? We are all putting in our 70-80 hours, because there isn;t enough management and noone above us really seems concerned. They just want your numbers. As long as you're running numbers and sales are up, then they assume you're ok. No good ideas are accepted. Just do what we say, and everyone gets punished when 1 person does wrong. There is absolutely no work/home balance. You're expected to be available 24/7, and yes, even on vacation. All most of us really want is time with our families, just more time. We can't do our jobs, if the ones above us aren't giving us the tools and then blaming us when we don't get them. We have no control over who our mgmt team is at times, but COOKOUT expects you to perform miracles with what they give you, without really seeing that they do this, not us. Most of us are just tired, and ready to just go.
