Both full-time and part-time employees become eligible for health insurance from their first day, along with other benefits such as vacation time and an employee assistance program. Growth and development opportunities are abundant, including industry-leading training through the PAR program starting on day one, a 401k plan with company match after 90 days, and an employee stock purchase program. Cracker Barrel fosters a culture of belonging with onboarding, training, recognition programs, and employee events designed to make every team member feel valued and supported. Additional perks include discounts on food and retail items, inclusive of a 35% discount on dining and exclusive discounts on home goods, travel, and cell phones.
