Pros

Unlimited coffee for staffs. Location is fine.

Cons

Pay is very less. The company do not pay for bank holiday or sunday premium pay. All they give is about 15 cents more per hour than minimum wage and that's all. Always understaffed. Higher officials comes almost everyday and always complains about every small issues. Very unsatisfactory work place.

Pros

My experience working at Pret A Manger as a Team Leader was extremely stressful. During the hiring process, I was told I would have at least one weekend day off, but that promise was not kept. The workload was overwhelming. The company frequently operated while short-staffed, and there was constant pressure to work double shifts. The pay did not reflect the level of responsibility expected of a Team Leader. Another issue was the work culture. If you called out sick or needed time off, there was often pressure to come in, even on your scheduled days off. I also did not enjoy the location where I worked, and I did not feel that the company valued or respected its employees.

Cons

You get free food the only good part of working here.
