RUN! Stay away from this company at all cost

Pros

None, use to be a good company

Cons

Use to be a great company until the new CEO and his bow down yes men appeared. Investment company apparently did not look at the CEO credentials and back ground. He takes pleasure in boasting about himself and not focusing on what needs to be done to have the company survive. OH YES, CEO wading up money and throwing at camera and degrading all employees, this is true, how childish can a 64 year old be.

Pros

The new CEO took two culturally strong brands in Bravo and Brio and stripped them away based on saving dollar bills that he through at the screen. We had our opportunities yes, but don't come in and change menus based on your preferences and never listen to the Guest or the employees that built these wonderful brands. True narcissism. We had really good people and they are all leaving in droves. It is a mess, especially at the home office. Only three, yes three people are transferring from Columbus to the Orlando office. The leadership sent out us all an email outlining this. Made us all feel crappy and sorry for those that are staying. It is like a house on fire so stay away.

Cons

So many to mention with FoodFrist. Poor leadership at the top, first. Focus is on labor and not saving money in obvious areas like overnighting menu ingredients and last-minute menus. No marketing strategy. Training was stripped away. Recipes are complicated and tasteless. Sales are dropping with Guest Counts. We were down over 30% this year and was told not to do any local marketing.
