Pros
Uptown Minneapolis location was always busy. Flexible hours. The neighborhood was diverse. Employee discount.
Cons
Management turnover: -5 General managers in 4 years. -Lost count of FOH managers. It's in the upper teens. -Poor communication with staff regarding upcoming promotions and policy changes. Work Enviroment -The uniform for females promotes harassment from customers and co-workers. When this was brought up to corporate they edited the training manual to remove the sexist verbiage and did nothing about the issue of harassment. -Incidents where guest sexually harassed employees were ignored. Employees were told to deal with it, or "they are only here for a little bit." -When harassment came from co-workers, a change of schedule was suggested. -Poor recognition of employee accomplishments or contribution. Coorporate used to give out hams for Christmas and would sometimes buy a meal (no more than $12) for winning sales contests. BPRC prides themselves in being a company that contributes to the community, which they do. They don't really treat their employees in a respectful way. -Opportunities for advancement are limited to wether or not you can drink the company Kool-Aid.
