By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Sweetgreen is introducing a new compensation program for its top-performing managers, aiming to incentivize talent development and retention. Starting in early 2027, "Head Coaches" (general managers) with at least three years at the company and who lead busy stores can earn over $200,000 annually, in addition to bonuses and stock options. The program also offers a $10,000 bonus for each employee a manager develops into a head coach, with no cap, positioning managers as "talent factories." AI
