What is paid time off like at Shake Shack?

Good food and paid time off

Over worked and long hours

4 weeks PTO, great health benefits, 2 days off in a row, 40-50 hour work week. No late nights

If your store does less then 80k a week be prepared to be understaffed with manangers and have to run with minimal team members just to hit your numbers. Team members are expected to do 2-3 positions and act like robots. Shift manangers are expected to act like GMs but are not given any tools to do so. Trying to train new manangers while not having any manangers is next to impossible and accounts for high manangent turn over due to burnout. Help from the corporate level is non existent because "it's not in the budget." If you would like to use your PTO you have to beg for help from other stores in your area to come cover your shifts. This has been a trend for the last 7 years and has not changed, dispite asking for help multiple times. Corporate structure is always changing and you never have the same AD or RDO or RVP for long so work put in goes unnoticed. If you work at stores that make over 100k a week this may be different since budget is different. Bonus program is a joke and you'll only be able to hit it if you are at a high volume store.

They make you struggle when you’re at a low-volume store. General Managers are expected to work every day, answer calls, hop on meetings, handle marketing, and more,with little to no support. You’re expected to create your own marketing while the actual marketing manager does absolutely nothing.There are constant changes and shifting expectations with the demand for immediate results. GMs receive poor training and are left with an overwhelming workload while no one checks in or seems to care for real. Managers and Shift Managers are expected to act like GMs while being underpaid.Team members are made to work 2–3 stations just because the store is “slower”,and you can forget about receiving a bonus. High-volume stores are constantly praised for hitting sales goals, even though they’re simply located in busier areas. Meanwhile, things like high COGs, overtime, poor labor management, and broken policies are completely ignored. Shake Shack used to be a great place to work, but for managers, it’s become modern-day slavery. You can’t take time off because there’s no coverage, and the work-life balance is nonexistent. They promote Black leaders to check off a diversity box, and they push LGBTQ+ initiatives heavily,but mostly in a way that feels performative, not genuinely supportive.I’m glad I left. A friend recently told me they even got rid of the 4-day work week. General Managers are really about to be overworked more than ever.
