fun and busy
fun place to work, very sociable job and not hard, plenty of opportunities to advance too. can get stressful at times but management are very supportive
Shift Leader in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire
on 12 August 2022
busy
busy and understaffed, so can be stressful. shift patterns are all over the place, so not good work/life balance. co workers are brilliant though and make work bearable
Employee in Bristol
on 6 August 2022
Terrible
It was terrible. I hated every single minute of it. The staff are rude, disorganised and to be completely honest, totally inept at their job. I felt like a liability
Team Leader in London
on 6 August 2022
Busy environment
Overall job for people that like to keep themselves busy. Different shift patterns ( early morning, middle or night shift, weekends). Busy. Different customers that could be challenging sometimes.
Kitchen Associate in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire
on 6 August 2022
Fast-paced and goal oriented
Good place to work and the people are fun and collaborative. Management is understanding and supportive and are quite flexible around your needs. High turnover.
