Management cares about business, not people - Hot Chef Pret A Manger Employee Review

Scheduling is inconsistent, especially in the off season. If the store is not busy, people will be sent home having only worked 2 or 3 hours. I was hired to work full time and never worked more than 35 hours a week (so I could not receive benefits). Some winter weeks which were predicted to be slow, I'd only work 20-25 hours. Work is maximum effort for minimum wage. Their business model of fresh, ready to eat, and fully stocked food is highly unsustainable. We did donate to food banks but we still tossed out pounds of food everyday.
