Pros

nice co-workers that try to help as much as they can free nasty food

Cons

super biased managers most of the girls in my store are from the same place even the assistant manager and FOH so they tend to group together against people they don't like even if they don't know them. Won't let anybody work over time even if they want to and tells them this because they don't want to pay anybody more than they have to. No tips and will get you in trouble for receiving any type of tips horrible training and won't listen to employees

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.
