Pros

Above average base pay, fairly simple job. The team are lovely.

Cons

Understaffed horrifically. No bonuses/benefits to employment such as holiday pay, sick pay. When busy, conditions/staff mood are very low. The entire staff agree that it is generally poorly managed. Most are just students doing it to afford university money and so turnover is high. Staff retention/ pieministers apparent desire to retain its own staff is extremely poor. And I was told recently that we were over staffing targets set by Pieminister... clearly a problem that needs to be adressed. If you can avoid it do not work here - places like Wagamama's which offer staff benefits, better tips as the food is higher quality and better staffing are a much better bet.

Pros

i can’t think of one

Cons

HQ had no respect for their workers and would constantly berate us, they had no idea what running a restaurant is like for the staff that worked for them. constant grief from headquarters/ owners. understaffed, over worked and underpaid. my line manager was horrible to everyone in store, the only saving grace was my manager who fought for us to be treated better. no notice was given when the store was closing down which resulted in all of us being made redundant without the chance to line up another job. owner came and publicly berated workers in front of customers and other staff members. forced my coworker to step up and be a manager for the remaining few months of the store’s existence without paying more for the higher role because they knew they were closing down but didn’t want to admit it and couldn’t afford to hire a manager.
