DO NOT work here. - Corporate Office PrimoHoagies Employee Review

1.) The corporate environment is always tense and uninviting. CEO has awful anger issues with no understanding how to run a business on a corporate level. One small mistake and you will hear it within seconds. The office environment is very judgmental and ignorant to those who they deem as “less than”. It’s an incredibly misogynistic environment with unacceptable belittling- talk on other’s (as well as employees at franchises) physique, relationship status, race, and lastly but not limiting, sexuality. 2.) Being late ( whether you’re 30 seconds late) for any reason - is not an excuse whether it’s traffic or a sickness they will reprimand you, write you up, and with no hesitation - fire you on the spot. If you leave one minute early, it follows the same unnecessary rules. They DON’T believe in a work life balance and demand a copious amount of your time and energy with no consideration of your personal life. 3.) The pay is awful and the benefits aren’t useful. You’re only allowed 5 days PTO and 5 sick days. If you go over your PTO allowance, your pay will be docked and you cannot make up for it. Your benefits barely cover any of the important basics. 4.) If you experience the loss of a family member and need bereavement time, they expect you to be grateful to be given only ONE DAY. I was handed a very tone deaf letter when coming back to office saying bereavement is not required, and we as employees should be grateful to be allowed an entire work day under the rules that the family member must only be a “grandparent, sibling, or parent”. 5.) You will not grow from your positions as they do not believe in promotions outside of family employees. Your pay will be starting at the minimum salary and negotiating your pay is considered entitled. Those who have been working with the company over 10+ years, have experienced bribery to ‘satiate’ their lack of pay and hopes for promotions for their time with the company. 6.) They have no culture and values as they continuously disrespect and discriminate their franchisees, store employees and corporate employees. 7.) There is no HR. The CEO is “HR” and will continuously shut you down or have no time for your feedback / comments. 8.) If you are working alongside their graphic vendors, good luck. Their main vendor “Doubletime” is an outdated, undereducated business run by only Danielle who will oversell assets, take advantage of you (and the CEO & COO) as a partner, discriminate & belittle you for “lack of comprehension” as they circle conversation with meaningless “statistics” to put you at a point of frustration, provoke arguments, and repeatedly disrespect your position at corporate unless you are the CEO. The CEO will not support you in that manner. If you choose to work here, understand that you are treated as a replaceable object and will also be reminded of that through the leadership’s actions and behaviors. You get lower than bare minimum at this company.
