Pret A Manger Reviews

Pros

Learned a lot about city life and stress during busy times.

Cons

While I do understand that this is just coffee and sandwiches, this should also be an environment that cultivates and encourages growth as a team. Instead, I have been made to feel unwanted, unneeded, and unnecessary. There is no encouragement, there is no full trust in my upper management. It is very much like school, if you're not with the cool kids then you are a nobody and they will remind you of that in front of the team. Work really is what you make of it and if you can just go in, keep your head down and do you job then do so. But it's not for me. I moved away and was lucky to get new job opportunity.

Pros

As much coffee as you can drink to fuel up

Cons

At first, they promise you the world and when you start 'training' to see how the whole company operates. It's all about figures, all management are backstabbers only to save their skin, there is no customer service because they want you to be busy making money for the company, too much stress your shift is overcharged with duties for the salary they offer. I was overwhelmed with the information they throw at you during training and they expect you to know it all immediately.

Pros

Free lunch and drinks, going out with team

Cons

This company have one thing in mind and that is to make money, I know that is most companies but it is drilled into you from the moment you get in the door to the moment you leave. you are bombarded with negativity on how you perform and how the company can replace you at an instant. you dont feel like you are contributing and are constantly reminded that you are very dispensible.

Pros

End of shift - resigning job

Cons

Hard work for low pay - unrealistic expectations - micromanaged - shouting all around - horrible music everywhere noise - absent leadership

Pros

Some of the people are nice, hard working

Cons

Pret is a bad company with bogus values and a lot of brainwash. Fast food catered to office workers. Poorly paid foreign workers are treated very bad.

Pros

Cons

robotic work everyday same work. no time to learn and my leaders are horribel
