Pros

Pizza Hut, depending on your store, can be a fun and rewarding environment to work in. My location is fun. That's about it.

Cons

Working as a shift manager who has been asked to start training for assistant manager... Starvation wages. I'm forced to work part-time as a cook and part-time as a shift manager. Most of my pay is minimum wage, even though I'm forced to do manager duties while clocked in on my cook code. Short staffing across the board: their idea to make the maximum amount of money possible is to short staff ever single store to have as little amount of people to get the job done as necessary. The TPLH system is running every single manager I know away from the company. Corporate bloat: while there may be 3-4 people working on a shift at a store in a single day, there's at least 4 people above them in corporate who want almost hourly updates of store performance. These people have become disconnected and don't actually know how hard it is to run the store and maintain every single crappy policy they put into place. Crappy software: our computers are still running Windows XP. They are bottom of the barrel machines that were manufactured in 2006. It's now 2015. Someone in our store makes a call to HelpDesk almost daily because of software crashes/machine breakage. Although others claimed they were, I was never payed for training (at home or on the job) and never received college credits for doing so. Breaks are entirely dependent on how busy the store is that day. You can't clock out to take a break if there's no one to fill your place. I have never once received a payed 10 minute break, which is required by Kentucky law; maybe I should report them? Crappy hours: since we're perpetually short staffed, some days I may be required to work 12 hours. Others, only 4. I am often called in on days off. Forget sick days: there's no one to fill your place. If you can't work, the store doesn't have a manager for the day.

Pros

Since NPC International took over the St Louis market of Pizza Hut, I have fond not one thing good about this company. Yum Brands was a much better company to work for. Yum Brands new how to treat their employees fairly and to value the work they do.

Cons

NPC International St Louis Pizza Hut. Has fallen in to a very bad habit of on fair practices, only applying policy when it suits them and ignoring the same policy when it may impact upper management. The discrimination level of the upper management has gotten completely out of control. They have no regards for the safety of their employees or the equipment in the stores. Area coaches are now allowed to work 30 hours or less a week while RGM'S are constantly working 60 and sometimes 70 hour work weeks. When this is brought to the region coaches attention, He does not want to discuss the issue or pursue any investigation. This is just a glimpse into the ongoing practices in the St Louis Region Pizza Hut's.

Pros

Not much, paid vacation, no 401k anymore they stopped paying that too! Expensive insurance, like I said not much pro here!

Cons

Constant daily email threats, told daily to cut hours, skeleton crew only but still clean for inspections, make your delivery time and give great customer service at the same time. Have a training system we basically aren't able to use because training is no excuse to miss your labor and the hell you pay if you miss it is not worth it so you do the best you can and the new employee eventually learns the job. Cut the schedule to a min where you can barely make it then have home office, area managers and whom ever else make mystery calls during your peak period to see if you are following a phone script while you have other lines on hold, customers at the counter , food to make, cut, drivers to be cashed in or dispatched and you have 3 inside employees.... We can only do so much and they push us to take shortcuts or manipulate then punish us for doing what they force us to do, threaten to tell managers what schedule they will be working or that they will have to attend a training class weekly for missing labor. Don't forget to get customer surveys in as well... Provide them crappy service but expect them to rate you high and if not yep another punishment. Moral is at an all time low, employees hate it but the job market so bad they are forced to stay knowing they will never make more than minimum wage so they put forth no more effort than needed hence "you get what you pay for". When you think you are doing the job don't hold that thought cause they will find something.... Focus changes daily sometimes multi pull times during the day. Stores in dire need of repair, we work inside where the temp is 87 during the summer and the air never gets fixed. This company wastes so much money on stupid stuff, employees see it and can't believe what they spend $$ on instead of employees and the store.. This company is for the dogs but I think animal rights would protect the dogs better than how the humans here get treated. Sweat shop, slave labor, unappreciated, overworked! Some shifts only one person allowed on clock so use the restroom between calls and customers if u have time and meal break .... Not one, cram something in your mouth when you have a second.... Management stuff, there is none you are the employee, take the schedule home to work on it in your personal time squeeze in inventory, food ordering , hiring etc you will never have a day to manage the store you are the employee first manager when you have a second! Nothing you do will ever be enough they will find more, berating e mails from your boss, their boss and their boss it never ends and to the point I hate going to work, hate reading emails . Hate it all and looking to take my experience and dedication someplace where i am provided what I need to do my job andappreciated!
