Fun work place

Good down to earth staff members, good staff discount, flexible hours with good opportunity to move up to a higher position and shares in the company if working for some time.

Wasnt a fan.

Some staff members were a pleasure to work with but management were just poor. Get accused of any little thing that goes wrong.Late hours and didn't seem like much chances for advancement.Then again...I wouldn't want to advance that's why I left.

Great Workplace but managers are shocking

Whilst working at Wetherspoons I only worked with my actual manager a few times as they were off sick, different assistant managers every shift, sometimes just had bar staff running the whole pub if assistant managers were off, quite unorganised. Was thrown into the deep end on a my first shift which was a busy Friday night, had a staff member help for about an hour then was left to my own devices, but I guess that’s how you learn. Fair pay, but noticed my hours decreasing week by week (obviously trying to get rid of me). Ended up being unfairly dismissed with a rubbish excuse after putting my all into my role but I still believe this is because they couldn’t afford to keep me on. Overall, good fast paced job with decent pay but be wary of managers.

Poor company

Management are useless. They don’t care about your mental health, and push you past your limits. Always short staffed, but expect you to meet the same targets as if you had the right amount of staff. Worse place I’ve ever worked in my opinion and I’ve worked in some terrible places! Nobody cares when the customer abuses you, they just carry on serving them.
