Pros
Free food on breaks Family discount Good staff Paid breaks
Cons
Late nights , bad managers that don’t know how to run the place , Work/life balance is terrible . Expected to come in on days off . The pay gap between buddy’s and supervisors is pointless . Supervisors do the exact same work as assistants and stay extra hours and get paid significantly less . It’s so tiring and stressful and the job really plays on your mental health (the bad management ) Have had the worst experience

Pros
Working in Nando`s is great if you are studying in the meantime. The working hours are flexible and most of the workers are students too so you gain lots of nice friendships.
Cons
No career opportunities. The company hires young and younger managers which don`t know how to manage people correctly. Awful management.

- 3.014 Feb 2019Assistant ManagerCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearLondon, England
Pros
-Free meal on shift -Company ‘seems’ to care about your wellbeing -Salary -Wage % budget doesn’t include salaries -Paid trips abroad for regional assistants to bond -Christmas and summer parties paid for with drinks -Store day outs together all paid for to bond with team and managers
Cons
-Long hours -Rare to have 2 days off together when fulltime -Patrao (General Manager) never does PM shift and your rota has to fit around their set rota -Wage % seems great until you have to save hours to pay for staff to clean after the shift -They don’t employ cleaners, staff are expected to stay sometimes until 2am to finish, sometimes meaning you have completed a 12-14 hour day -Customer Care team will give away vouchers for complaints sometimes instead of checking with the store as to what went on and if there is something that be done to help change for the future etc
Nando's UK & IRE Response5yHey, many thanks for your review. There are some points in there which we'll be more than happy to look into further and get back to you about, if you can drop us an email to HRsupport@nandos.co.uk.
