      Cava Pro and Cons

      General manager
      Current employee
      Denver, CO
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great general manager salary, actual work-life balance because you are able to have multiple mangers on each shift, area leaders are supportive, great training program.

      Cons

      HR doesn’t partner up with regional and area leaders very well. HR seems to have very little operational experience - lacks empathy (says everything is black and white) and has shown to terminate multiple managers, area leaders, and regional leaders without coaching. Decisions are being made with very little knowledge of policy themselves (lots of grey areas for black and white standard). Recommend CEO looks deeper into Human Resource and how they handle relationships with operation leaders.

      fine

      Pros

      free food during your shift

      Cons

      treated poorly by customers daily

      decent for part-time, bad for full-time

      Pros

      One free meal per shift and friendly staff.

      Cons

      Hard to move up. No matter how many good customer reviews or how well you do your job, raises are taboo and you only receive a thank you card with a few dollars in it.

      Pros

      Pay is standard and workload isn't to bad

      Cons

      Shift leads completely change how your day is going to go. Sometimes close at 1-3am versus 11:30 (supposed to get out at 11:00). Also if leads like you they put you on easier positions and if they don't they put you on positions no one wants to do.
