Pros

Paid breaks, free food and hot drinks. Better paid than retail. You can swap shifts if you need to. Quick advancement if you can work extra hard and also have a brain.

Cons

Boring and monotonous tasks. Management doesn't listen or care. High staff turnover. You get paid very little for what you are expected to do. No benefits.

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.
