"I get to work for a company who stands by their word."
I have been working at Golden Corral
Pros
Golden Corral has always done what they said they would do. As long as your willing to put in the work it will not go un-noticed. I started out as an hourly manager and I have worked my way up to a Franchisee. I never thought in a million years I would own my own restaurant one day. Golden Corral made a dream come true I didn’t even have. They helped me achieve more then what was on my radar. Plus their a company that puts God first.
Cons
It’s hard work, but anything good is going to be hard. This world isn’t going to hand you anything.

Pros
I loved it there was one of the best places I've worked at

"First Real Job"
I worked at Golden Corral part-time
Pros
I was able to secure a work permit at the age of 14 and work for the company as my first "real" job. Most other companies in VA would not hire at that age.
Cons
Not much room for growth and development, but it suited me for a PT job.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Golden Corral part-time for more than 5 years
Pros
A very good place to work and receive valuable work experience.
Cons
When the time comes to leave and pursue bigger and better opportunities, you simply will not want to leave. I have graduated college and I am sad to see this place leave my life. Golden Corral culture has become a normal part of my life, and I have worked for the company for six years now. Its like leaving family, it sucks.
