As a former employee for on of this companies rest...

As a former employee for on of this companies restaurants, I recently ended my tenure because they bought a franchise I worked for. They swooped in and completely turned the place around. New policies introduced caused a dozen employees to quit in less than 2 months. I know restaurants have high turn over rates, but when it is the top end employees leaving I see an issue. I myself worked at the franchise prior to its purchase for upwards of a decade. It hurt to leave because of bonds I had made with the customers in that time. I chose to leave because of the disrespect it seemed this companies higher ups had towards even the general managers of my franchise. They seem to want you to work for them rather than them working with each other. There was a lack of team work and basic communication in terms of transitioning from former ownership to the new ownership. I had colleagues at other stores within my franchise that confirmed with me that morale at there stores as well as mine had bottomed out. When you have store morale in the negative that drops service times down and customer service down. Once those drop down so low your regular customers quit coming in. So in closing I left once my franchise was purchased. Their new policies enforced immediately I found to be difficult to handle and the lack of respect I received from their employers seeing through the transition was the final bit of icing on the cake.
