      I have been working at Mitchells & Butlers full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      The vast size of the company means that what ever direction you’re looking to develop your career, there is a path you can take.

      I started begin the bar and have worked my way through the ranks into a HR role, I’ve found that if you’re willing to develop and work hard, M&B will support you every step of the way.

      Cons

      If it’s a career and development you’re looking for, there are no cons

      Advice to Management

      Continue to put people first
