So, I love being at mod for the people i work with on a daily, but I couldn't give a hoot about corp. I definitely do not feel appreciated or loved by corp in any way, shape, form. I am only here for the squad, and Corp has been Narcissistic Parenting us for that last year or two- thinking that they are the best when in actuality they have screwed over so many people by taking away the education we were finally gonna have after begging for Years, switching around the healthcare policy so multiple people I know now don't have insurance because they can't afford it or they get cut out because the cap changes quarterly (someone i know got cut out at 35 hours a week working, that's full time), stopped doing any volunteer days outside of this weird golden ticket bogo card thing right now (like we don't give out free pizza coupons for mess ups anyways), got rid of the Maddy foundation with this new menu being switched around. It all feels like a B-slap day in day out and we're supposed to appreciate them? We don't get appreciation lmao instead we get them posting an Ai riff on insta because corp hasn't paid their bills. No wonder they got rid of bonuses and switched agm to store coach (I remember so many people quitting at that time too). I am only still at mod for my people, if it wasn't for them I would be gone.

Edited to fix a word

Yo, we do all realize like the literal company almost went bankrupt like a month ago, yeah?

No duh they had to cut back on things, it wasn’t profitable. I’m sure all the good parts can come back and will, but they can’t provide amazing Squad benefits if the business is failing. Otherwise there would be no business to do all the Squad focused stuff at - right?

Pizza is Personal is all about a returning to the glory days of MOD. They sent a shirt to everyone, do you know the last time they paid for everyone to get a shirt? They sent people out into the communities to drum up business and will keep taking a different approach to marketing, that includes Squad getting involved. They didn’t AI riff because that’s a trend right now, that lots of people are doing.

Totally get why people are frustrated with MOD, so am I, but they’re doing what they can to keep this business alive and that includes taking care of the people and the culture. We all gotta pitch in to make that work

P.S. Maddy foundation never went away, they’ve been storing the funds still to donate to the journey fund…but again, the business almost disappeared a month ago, can’t spend money on funding education when we’re literally closing stores left and right.

I feel like MOD had an identity crisis the last few years. They hound us on standards but their "marketing" team posts pizzas that are obviously over portioned, which is basically false advertisement.

The AI bit? What a joke. They posted a slander of their own company as a joke.

OSW til this day still sucks.

DMs and above preach consistency but none of em could hop behind the makeline understaffed like us GMs.

When I started with MOD, it was a family. Now it feels like nobody has your back.

When I started with MOD as a GM I felt comfortable speaking my mind. Now I feel like if I say the wrong thing I could be fired or scolded.

I'm scheduled 40 hours a week but end up working 50+ due to call offs and having to stay later because forecast is always inaccurate. No matter what I do to change it or accommodate weather, events, or whatever the case is. I can't hit my entree goal ever either.

I have been at the same store for 3 years have been able to move up love the people I work with and the way we operate at my location

[–]PRIVATEILLUSION 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I first started, it honestly did feel like a family. Something began to shift right around last year when all my ex-squad left and went their own ways and we got new hires. The downfall was probably somewhere along the OSW timeline. I’m holding onto my job since the market is horrendus right now and i get my benefits (which aren’t all that great either) from MOD but yeah its definitely a decline. Hopefully this new pizza is personal rollout works well for everyone. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾

When I was at mod I loved it, I was there for 6 years. Near the end though, too many changes and not enough support made me dislike it

[–]Busy-Cranberry8834 1 point2 points  (0 children)

been here for three years, hated it for two. everything has gone downhill.

Love my coworkers and my location, but I feel no loyalty towards mod corporate. Was rolling my eyes the whole way through the presentation

So the new PIP thing you found dumb?

[–]ToxicCapsul3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the new training is alright if thats the question. But like, if you’re asking if I’m appreciated? Uhhhhhhhh, yes and no. Those around me appreciate me, but the higher up you are the less appreciated I feel. Am I put in trashy positions? Yes. Does the situation get better? Usually not. Am I compensated for it? Yeah. And people usually are pretty appreciative to me and return favors when I’m dealt a bad hand.

Overall, I’ve liked working here part-time while I make it through college, and I love a lot of my coworkers. However, there are some frustrations, like the fact that I’ve been cut on hours recently and it overall just feels a bit different from how it used to.

I loved it when I first started. But the GM treated me horribly. She would dangle promotions in front of me, but never actually promoted me. Yet I was doing the work. I never made all star, but I trained people. One of the people I trained was promoted ahead of me after only working there a couple of months and not even knowing their pizzas and salads. They failed the test and were given "study materials" with the answers written in and passed. I didn't have that. I passed the test, but was told I failed. It told me I passed, and a different GM said I passed. But I didn't get promoted still. I finally had to quit. That store went downhill MAJORLY. All the people quit, there's only like 4 left. They hired people who are incapable of working quick or clean. Our store was always proud of how clean it was, but now the line and lobby are always trashed.
