Pros

Lots of chances to move up

Cons

Management says they care about you but they dont. managers want 3 weeks notice for any time off you want but only posts the schedule days before it goes live. If you call out sick, no matter how sick you are they will make you cover your shift or else they will try to make you still work it. They commit wage theft by withholding tips to cover cash register mistakes which is illegal in MO since tips are the property of the enployee and can not be withheld for any reason at all. And they will turn a blind eye to someone stealing from the cash register as long as there is enough tips to cover the loss for them, so the good employees pay for the actions of 1 theif

Pros

The thing is, all jobs pretty much suck. The goal is to find a place to work that sucks less than the rest. For me, Jack Stack was that job.

Cons

Nothing I won't encounter anywhere else I work

Pros

The money, clientele and my coworkers were fantastic. I’m grateful for the experience I gained while working there, and the people who made it a positive environment.

Cons

While there were some good moments and coworkers I appreciated, I feel like my experience was heavily impacted by poor management, lack of communication, and inconsistent support.
