      Positive Outlook
      No Opinion of CEO

      I have been working at J D Wetherspoon full-time for more than 3 years

      Pros

      - Free lunches - Decent pay if you're young but it's not a viable option long term -Good bonuses but only if your pub is profitable

      Cons

      -Stress -Long hours -Childish "high school clique" culture in some pubs but not all -Always under staffed

      Advice to Management

      Work on shift with staff more often and actually get to see what it's like in the fray. We're not moaning about long hours and understaffing for no reason
