Experiences at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

The people. Working with a staff of over 100 individuals was challenging and rewarding. It was fun coming to work everyday and getting to know the staff.

Monster.com. After completing the online resume, I was contacted by a hiring agency who referred me to the recruiters with Cracker Barrel.

I started working for Cracker Barrel at the Grandville location as a hostess, and quickly trained in most areas of the restaurant and retail store including: server, grill cook, prep cook, back-up cook, cashier, retail sales person, skill trainer, and shift leader. After three years, I applied for a position at the Walker location. For three years, I was the Employee Training Coordinator.

My responsibilities included: various clerical duties, orientations, filing, benefits, evaluation tracking and assignments, testing for advancement, ensuring policies are followed, loss prevention, increasing morale, helping where needed, and training and scheduling the trainers. Unfortunately, the Cracker Barrel I was working at closed its doors. I was transferred back to the Grandville location as an employee working in skill positions because there was not an opening for my position at that store....

My position requires a great deal of friendly customer service within an extremely fast paced, stressfull environment. I also teach new hires how to efficiently serve people. Throughout their employment, with ongoing training, I ensure their development within the company.

The people who worked there and the way the company kept the country feel

The hardest part was there were 58 employees and they all had diffrent personalities and the hard part was finding each of their strong points

I was one of 5 managers

I would work with the store merchandise, set up display stands. Walk around greet the guest try to sell merchandise from the store. When I worked the register i would take money from the guest, to pay for their meal.
