Greggs Careers and Employment

Tattoos aren't a problem at all.

No not anymore! Hours are being dropped. Assistant manager role is going...

Only applied to work here as it stated part time over 4 days and the hours suited me,it's not part time and it's 5 sometimes 6 days and basically it's put up and shut up,not the job that was advertised.

I get paid every Thursday but I'm part-time, may depend on what contract you have.

Hi I work at Gregg's in gosforth park bakery Newcastle upon Tyne when we work sundays we get double time basically If you work over your contracted hours you'll get either time and a half or double time depending when it is your working ie sat and after 6pm it's time and a half sundays and bank holidays is double time also get lou days for bank holiday working

Yes you get paid for it and travel expanses too (bus fare or petrol)

Tattoos aren't a problem at all.

Rules was changed to allow you to wear your trousers and shirt into work. But not apron and cap. This is because most greggs don't have proper changing areas. Before the rule change you had to change in toilet which is not hygienic so hence the rule change.

Tattoos allowed not a problem. No jewellery apart from a plain wedding band on finger.

Like most interviews, it's crucial you know a fair bit about the company. They'll ask your opinion on a lot, like how do you think I could do my job better, what do you notice when you go to Greggs, how could we save extra money... a lot of time you can think on your feet and make some stuff up, but I'd definitely recommend having a while to sit and think on it beforehand. Also, they will ask you your favourite product. Make sure you get the name right haha, I accidentally said "wrap" instead of "pasty"... awkward. Mainly though just let your personality seem super friendly as, presuming you're going for a team member position at tills, they'll want you to be a friendly happy-to-help kind of person.

Questions vary from, what’s your favourite product, to how you would boost sales. The importance of being on time, to dealing with complaints. If you have a instant spark with the manager, Your basically hired. Having a great personality and being friendly helps you out massively. Knowing some history about greggs would help as well.

Smart attire such as a shirt and trousers as a minimum.
