Horrible management and overwhelming workload at Norwich

Pros

Absolutely nothing positive about working here

Cons

Management is horrible and condescending at Norwich especially the bald bloke. Chefs are a piece of work as well - will scream at you over anything and treat you like bottom of the barrel. Pay is not worth the amount of work - Norwich location makes you do the job of two, doing porter duties and making desserts at the same time.
