I worked at Pret A Manger full-time for more than 2 years
Pros
Paid break.
Free food.
Career progression.
Parties and Friday drinks organized by the company in cool places.
Overall a nice and young work environment.
Cons
Often over working.
High pressure.
Stressful.
Unpaid sickness.
Often hires bad employees who give the whole team some really hard times.
If mystery shopper gives a bad review, all the team members loose money: no matter who made the mistake.
Hard shift times (you could start at 5 am in the morning, finishing at 11 pm if you have to close or even work at night if the shop requires it).
Be careful not to fall in...
I worked at Pret A Manger part-time for more than a year
Pros
Lots of free food, free coffee, they work around your schedule, and the pay is pretty good. Manager was awesome, but depends on the location.
Cons
Between grumpy coworkers, grumpy customers, and homeless people constantly destroying the bathroom, this place was just a headache. Definitely a job for morning people who don't mind hectic, robotic work that eats away at your soul one day at a time. The turnover rate was ridiculously high, and for good reason.
