Guest Experience Should Never Exceed the Employee Experience

We’re known for providing a friendly home away from home atmosphere in our old country store and restaurant, and there’s a good reason for that. Whether you’re greeting guests in Sacramento, cooking eggs in Orlando, or training “Rising Stars in Lebanon – every employee plays a part.

 

Each day 70,000 Cracker Barrel employees come to work and bring our mission of “Pleasing People” to life. We commit to our employees, as they commit to our guests, to ensure they have the support needed to excel in their careers. Whether it’s our world-class training program or our career development opportunities, we’re devoted to making sure all of our colleagues have an opportunity to grow and thrive at Cracker Barrel.
