I have been working at Pret A Manger full-time for more than 4 years
Pros
Hourly salary a bit higher of competitors
Good training in customer service experience
Paid break, meal free
Discounts into all Pret A Manger stores
Interesting to meet people from a different culture background
Monthly social event
Cons
Too much pressure from the mystery shopper whence it depend the "bonus"
Often happen to work "unpaid" overtime to finish daily duties
Limited progression career if you're not in the state of grace of the Head of your working Area
In many cases I've weighed up a big incompetence and lack of skills between Team Leader and Assistant Manager's position
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.
