Pros
I work at one of the company's Starbucks franchise. We're entitled to 30% off our orders, as long as it's for personal use. I.E. you come in with some friends on your day off, you get 30% off the price of your coffee, but your friends have to pay full price. One free coffee a day (which is a bit insulting, when a cup of coffee costs next to nothing to make)
Cons
As a 'full time employee' the most I've ever worked in one week is 30 hours. Full time is generally 35-40 hours so how they can call this a full time position is beyond me. Very low pay - especially considering what other franchises pay their employees for the exact same job. Other franchises pay £1 an hour more - this quickly adds up come payday. Outdated uniform policy (no tattoo's to be on show, only blonde/brown/black hair allowed). Condescending and rude management that have no real skills to be in their position. Expected to be impressed when seeing 'big bosses' arrive in Audi's. If the company can afford Audi's for all members of senior management surely they can pay the people actually making the company money a better hourly rate. I generally feel not very valued at all.
