Pop Pie Co.

I loved my job when I first started. I still love my coworkers and they are the only reason I stayed at this job for so long. When I started we had several managers and a solid team of people over two sister stores. Soon after I experienced a turnover rate I had only seen in fast food restaurants. New employees constantly, none of them there more than a few months. Management either moved states or quit the comapany entirely. Several times. I asked for a lead position to pick up some slack for the store, and was only given a 25 cent raise to basically become one of two leads, who then managed both stores and a team of five people between them, for a period of over 4 months, with no power to schedule, interview or hire new people. We had to wait for management from our San Diego locations to hire even worse fits who lasted less time and ignored my requests to be moved to assistant manager so I could help deal with what the store required. Raising the question of a secondary raise is met with an endless amount of middlemanning and requesting to be spoken to with respect by an owner who is never there for his store or his employees is met with even more disprespect from him. Overall a disappointing experience throughout employment with lack of growth, management, and owner's attitude towards speaking to employees.

Was hired as management under the GM and from the jump was gaslighted about the culture and opportunity. Ownership showed a real lack of trust and engagement with their staff and instead leaned on intimidation style tactics for management. This company delivers a quick and quality meal to customers and leans on it’s employees to provide quality and respect that is not extended to them. They changed my schedule without notice or care. I received a positive employee  review and was told they can’t pay me at the rate they hired me for and I was “demoted.” Our employee benefits ( minuscule at best,) were changed without notice. HR is the owner. This place is the epitome of the rot that exists in the industry. 

management was horrible and questionable most of the time. the pressure from working there varies at each location you work at, but from what i experienced there i can tell their main worries are profit. the owners are known for their unprofessional fits of anger, the managers are all crumbling under the pressure, the turnover rates are skyrocketing by the day, and they are unwilling to work with anyone who has schedule limitations. the only positive things about working there are the employees, everyone's super nice and fun to be around, and the pay (and tips) are really good. its hard work, but if you're willing to overlook the management it can be good money

What is the best part of working at the company?
There was noting good about working here. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You are expected to do way more work than is in your job description and no matter how hard you work it is never appreciated by upper management. They will make snide remarks about you regardless of how much effort you put into your job. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is horrible and none of the managers care about their employees.

If you're not afraid of a fast-paced and demanding work, this will be a rewarding company for you. 

My experience was neither amazing or dismal. It was knowledgeable from a business perspective, rewarding on a social level, and it took care of my financial obligations. I'm not here to gaslight anyone's experience but I look back more positively than I do negatively on my experience here. There is room to grow, because at the end of the day, ownership is sharp that trustworthy indication is a result of their growth and expansion. 

I started working at Pop Pie Co my junior year of college and had a great experience here. Staff is always welcoming and friendly, I still talk to a lot of my old coworkers. The work environment is very fast paced but rewarding so if you’re looking for something “chill” or a “lazy” job don’t apply. The only reason I left Pop Pie Co was because I was moving or else I would have stayed. I think Pop Pie Co is a very rewarding company to work for with a lot of room to grow (career wise) I would recommend it to anyone! 

starts off so fun and positive but quickly you get pushed to the side more and more. you get told about “record breaking sales” but there is no positive reinforcement with that. meanwhile the owners are getting a new house, office, cars, and traveling constantly, while for xmas all we get are stockings filled with kirkland junk. just tacky overall. 

Really poor turnover.
Average employees last about 3 months.
Horrible communication skills. 
Owner is known in the industry for blow ups. 
Not a safe work environment for anyone but management. 
They seem welcoming not don’t be fooled.
Will not recommend working here for anyone.

One of the worst restaurant groups in San Diego. CEO is a meglomaniac and mistreats his employees. Be prepared for no benefits, bad pay, extremely high turn over and no respect. Your team members and managers will be exhausted and underappreciated. Don't be fooled by the good food and nice branding. 

If you’re being hired to work at this company, they have a tendency of bringing on talent at salaried or higher wages and then after you build the team up, they then tell you that they can’t afford you anymore and then offer you an hourly rate or removing your position. Usually happens within 2 to 6 months. Work culture isn’t great with an extremely high turnover rate.
