I have been working at Pret A Manger (More than a year)
Pros
- Day goes fast (especially when working in kitchen) - Weekly pay - Free lunch - Mystery shopper bonus
Cons
- Staff can be unfriendly - Always messing up pay - If you're even 2mins late, ITS A BIG ISSUE! (& you will miss out on weekly bonus) - Expect too much from you (work you like a slave) - Everyone speaks their own languages
Advice to Management
- Be more understand to staff needs - Train managers regularly (especially with confidentiality) - Employ more staff
I have been working at Pret A Manger full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
A lovely team especially the manager it's very kind and very understanding. Best rates compared to other competitors. Discounts when not working ( 50% off) Free food when working. Give the opportunity to grow with them. If you give your best, you will get their best. Simple! It's a company that it's customer orientated!
Cons
Half of the job it's cleaning. Over time not paid (e.g. 20-30 minutes if more than a hour then yes.) Can be stressful. Changing shifts. Overloading with tasks that are kinda impossible to achieve in the time they give you. (ONLY SOMETIMES)
