Pros
Shortly after joining the noodles team you're part of a family. Rarely is someone left out of the team atmosphere. The managers have always been super flexible with my availability and time off requests (at the multiple locations I've worked at). Promoting up is pretty easy if you have the drive for it.
Cons
Pay as a team member is capped at $12 so to make more you need to promote up. Working in a kitchen is always busy/always on your feet

- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Depends on the location but in general we got free meals, tips on top of our hourly, and accruing pay time off if you were a shift manager or above. Being a general manager or assistant manager comes with more benefits.
Cons
Obviously each location differs the staff at my location was mostly great. However, the company itself was really never involved. The area manager would come around from time to time but never actually really helped. The regional manager would just come in with smiles but again no actual help lol. By the time I left it was so understaffed.

It's been 4 Mos & I'm thrilled to say that I voiced my grievances & they responded Positively! I Love the Food here! I Love the people I work with and for! They're very flexible with you & hours. They offer great Benefits. Move up quickly if you prove yourself capable. Corporate sends Treats to make you feel Appreciated. They Love Kids & Families. They help employees. They accept diversity. It's a Fun environment. It's an easy job and it can become very fast paced.
Cons
Pay isn't competitive. I begged for the Rate I got & every person hired after me is making the same thing. I'm more qualified than some. No Review or Raise after 90 Days. No Cash Tips. They give you the Hours you ask for, your first month; but they become less & less as more people are hired, it seems...

The restaurant can get kind of dirty especially with the carpet flooring which was awful to sweep at.
