I love the fact that I have the opportunity to work for Mitchell and Butler as a Chef. The company is is very supportive to their employers support them with a bright future opportunities to everyone and equally.
the only good thing i got from working at the harvester was discounts a high pay. AM management was decent when they want to be which is often however GM will find any excuse to blame you, not responsive at all with messages then blames staff and fires them for going "AWOL" after trying to communicate on numerous occcasions throughout the first lockdown. clearly didnt understand what a message was
Pros
pay
Cons
manager
Great company to work for, very large pub group with many opportunities to move and take new challenges. The only negatives are the same as you will get working as a manager for any company.
Pros
Free accommodation, salary, bonus
Cons
Long hours, hard to manage a work life balance. Work christmas day and every holiday
Every M&B workplace is the same. The management disrespect and have no care for their staff , as well as having very high hypocritical expectations. Not all of them were like this , but the majority. As someone who has worked in 2 of their restaurants for 2 years , I have reasonable experience. They base staff's hours on favouritism. The pay is very low. Around ÂŁ5-6 for 16/17 years old and ÂŁ6-7 for 18-25 year olds.Staff also have to complete long unpaid online training very often.This is my experience from when I was 16 years old , however some others ( likely older than myself) would have had a different experience. I wouldn't wish or recommend anyone to work for this company.
Pros
None.
Cons
Rude management, Low pay and Long hours.
Usually people don't want to help you And some managers don't care about you, even if they are the persons that should care about what happening when an employer is crying at work. At this pub they create a tensionate atmosphere and if they don't like you, you feel bad all day.
Pros
Cheap accommodation
Cons
No Free meals during the day
Have to many management coming and going and not enough job security to the staff who works for them and overworked for the wages they pay you and understaffed
Pros
None
Cons
Long hours and underpaid
Area managers and other "supporting" roles such as auditor etc are never available to help, you are expected to work above and beyond your contract all the time, pay is bad and work life balance doesn't exist
Pros
None
Cons
Most
Just don’t even bother with this dreadfully horrid company. Even when they know that you are being set up by other staff members they still treat you like a criminal
Pros
None
Cons
No work life balance
I was skint had no money so couldn't afford to feed myself I asked for a sub that you as declined by management I asked for a tab also was declined by management they knew what position I was in and out right refused to help me I had to resort to eating scraps at the end of the night
Pros
None
Cons
Rubbish management, no job security, head chef left on every cleaning shift and never pulled his weight
Poor company to work for, expect extra work for no extra pay. Bosses don’t help with developing you as a person. Work all holidays and Christmas with no extra pay, don’t pay out bonuses
Pros
Not many
Cons
Long hours, no incentives, Christmas Day expected to work

Worked at the crown and anchor on Drummond street. Nothing bad to say about the company!! I was given the best support and training by my management team!!

I had to leave
Was not sure what kind of career i wanted, started working in a PCP and i was not disappointed. So much opportunity to get on, plenty of training and support.
Pros
Great training and development opportunities
Cons
None
Not the best money, only a little above minimum but the place itself is lovely. Teams are usually lovely, menus offer nice foods for on shift et. Training is thorough which is nice but not paid for as it’s all online
Pros
1/3 of entire bill on external meals. 50% off food on shift
Cons
low-ish pay. Occasionally long/hectic shifts
Salaried pay at a minimum of 48 hours usually towards 60 hours a week for nothing extra. Constantly increasing targets making it impossible to achieve and very demotivating.
Worked at The Young Vanish for a while and was glad to get out of there as soon as I could. Both kitchen and Assistant manager were totally incompetent, both were too busy being friends with their favourite members of staff. It's a very clicky environment to work in. If your face doesn't fit then you're left to do everything. Favoured members of staff were allowed to pretty much do as they please, so you were left to pick up the slack. Most members of staff were either friends or related and everyone loved to slag eachother off and gossip. The building gets in that much of a mess that you work through breaks to catch up. Avoid!!!
Pros
Nothing
Cons
The staff
Great teammates and colleagues and the management were great. However, you are simply a number. The company don’t card about you or your opinions. I wouldn’t got back but I would consider working for the same mgt team.
Pros
Flexible and accommodating team. Lovely working environment
Cons
Terrible work life balance. Long shifts. Just a number
Mitchell’s and butlers is a great place to work, they have different brands you can work for. They offer great rates of pay and plenty of opportunities to move up to management if you wish/ are capable. They also give you a 33% discount code to use at the other Mitchell’s and butler sites every day but Christmas Day.
Pros
33% staff discount
Cons
Unsociable hours
I have now worked for M&b for 5 years Progressing from waitress up to assistant manager Great support from management above , Would highly recommend if wanting to progress in the hospitality industry
Pros
Great discounts and flexibility with hours
Cons
Long hours, busy bank holidays
