Savannahs Candy Kitchen

I worked for this company for 2 1/2 years and it was by far the worst experience. I would not recommend this job to a single person. When I started, my coworkers and management created a fun and upbeat work environment. By the time I left the company, not a single person I started with still worked for them. Management failed to properly train me when stepping into a management position and knowingly underpaid me because I was not a full time employee. Could not guarantee me a raise after a year regardless of good performance, and directly addressed to me that I was being underpaid. At all times the store remains understaffed. Owners constantly watched the cameras and called to critique what they saw. We had broken appliances for the span of months and did not receive a mirror in our employee restroom for over a year (and still had not received one before I resigned). Did not receive a paid lunch and were subject to eating lunch and taking breaks in the sink area, since most stores do not have break rooms. There is one parking spot for management at the location I worked and I was required to pay for parking every shift (receiving half back with a valid receipt). I could go on about how horrible this company treats their employees, but as a previous cashier and manager, simply understand this is not a job worth applying to whatsoever. 

Working there is dramatic. Only apply if you have a flair for exuberant lies and know that your job is based on the word of others and not on your job performance. There is no communication between higher managers and assistant managers which then trickles down to the cashiers. You aren't even told when you're officially a manager after you've trained for months to become one. Even if you are a hard worker, and try your hardest to get everything done perfectly, if someone there doesn't like you, their word holds more value and affects your standing at this company more than your work ethic. I do not recommend working here.

The people there are nice, but never try to call-out, request a day off, or get sick. It's like pulling teeth and they don't pay enough for the job. It's high pace, stressful, and not fun. The managers and owners are constantly watching because they think people are going to steal, and most of the product goes bad before it sells, but they still make the employees sell it. They also never account for your schedule or other things going on in your life, and if you request to have 20-30 hours a week or part time on your resume, they will give you 40+ and every shift will be a night shift where you leave at 11-12pm.

In the beginning the job was fun but as time pass I was ready to get off before I even clocked in. Management is HORRIBLE! they are all inconsiderate and very rude. The description does not fit well for the job. Working in a candy store should be fun and exciting. This job is actually draining and very stressful. It is unbearably hot in the ice cream section, so many flies and bugs around the candies. The only fresh thing in the store are the Pralines and barrel candy. You will be ashamed to serve that stuff to customers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The different people you get to meet from all over the world make every day different and exciting. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
when employees miss their shift without calling to let anyone know and especially on high traffic days 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is a very upbeat atmosphere with a very diverse cultural range. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
No two days are ever exactly the same.

I would say that most of the fudge, candy, and chocolate is stale. Bugs are constantly crawling on the fudge and chocolate and they're flies too. The store smells great tho and it was a great experience. Lower leveled managers run the store their way once higher leveled managers leave the store. The rules change once different situations come and they like to pick at you. Most of the managers are inconsiderate and have big egos.

This company is run by a management team that follows the owner's idea of employees being disposable. Often the analogy of carrot or stick is used, in this case, baseball bat is more like it.

Robotic, monotonous, dull and miserable are a good description of the work at Savannah Candy Kitchen. 

The star rating system minimum of one star is too much, if there were half stars, I would have used them.

This was a very nice place to work at because you had the chance to taste the ice cream and candy in the facility which always tasted very good. The managers and coworkers were very nice you just have to do what is asked of you and you will be fine. The only downside is some of the customers are very annoying but that's at every job. Only issue is you are more likely than not to get a weekend shift for the night time but other than that, it is a very great job.

Working at Savannah's can be stressful because of the high volume of customers on Broadway in Nashville. Also working in a hot kitchen or lifting heavy items can be exhausting. Overall, its an okay job. The pay isn't bad. I believe it's around $10 an hour, however businesses should be paying more to accommodate the cost of living in Nashville. The job got catty at times and some employees weren't always as mature and professional as I would've hoped.

Communication between upper management and employees isn't so good. During the time I worked for the company, no one ever sat me down to talk about if i needed to improve my performance or to evaluate my performance at all. They also let me go and lied about why.
