Plot

Each episode of the show features a senior-level executive or owner of a company going undercover as an entry-level employee competes for a position in their company. They spend a week undercover, doing various entry-level operations in different departments, and meeting the employees, learning their professional and personal challenges.

At the end of the week, the executives reveal their identity to the employees and evaluate the performance of the staff they interacted with, while they were undercover. The hardworking employees are rewarded for their efforts either in the form of a promotion, or pay hike, while the remaining employees are either given training or in some extreme cases, terminated. CBS describes the show as, "Undercover Boss is a two-time Emmy Award-winning reality series that follows high-level executives as they slip anonymously into the rank-and-file of their own organizations. Each week, a different leader will sacrifice the comfort of their corner office for an undercover mission to examine the inner workings of their operation."
