Underpaid and overworked
Pizza Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Hereford - 23 April 2022
Sometimes was left with one person trying to complete three drivers worth of work at 10 o’clock at night whilst also expected to clean everything and tidy up and help lock up. Waste of time. Never made money always had to use my own savings to get by as weren’t paid enough to survive

No progressive pay scheme.
Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Cramlington, Northumberland - 20 April 2022
Been working for Papa John's for a year now and it's been the same since I started only with less hours and more stress. The work itself isn't that difficult but can feel a bit overwhelming at first. The best attitude to have is not to really care about the work which I feel isn't a very good mentality for work. Two days a year of standard holiday. (Christmas day and boxing day)
Pros
Discount pizza (Not free), easy work
Cons
Commission pay kind of sucks

It's ok, at best
Shift Runner (Former Employee) - Somerset - 20 April 2022
The only good thing about the store I worked in, were the people! Pay always late (and incorrect) Pensions not paid into NEST after being deducted from wages The higher management didn't care about the employees Long hours, no rewards

Not good employers….
Store Manager (Former Employee) - Yeovil - 18 April 2022
Not good employers , corporation is not worried how their franchises run and treat their staff… it’s all about fun social media posts and money in their pockets if they want to be as big as they say they want to be in the UK they have a lot to learn with McDonald’s, subway, etc…

Very busy
Team Member (Former Employee) - Cardiff - 12 April 2022
Very busy workplace. You won’t have minute to rest. I stopped working there because of poor management. Every month we had issues with our pay. Very poor management.

Fun workplace. Disgusting hygiene and no support.
Shift Leader (Former Employee) - Poole, Dorset - 12 April 2022
Worked many hours overtime, helped train new staff with no extra pay. Supervisors are amazing but management never bother to come in. They will cut your hours down without telling you. I was working over 15 hours a week to then be cut down to under 10 with no explanation. Management does no safety/hazard checks,

Good place to work for a second job

Good place to work. All staff are friendly. It can get very busy at weekends so fast paced but the job itself is enjoyable. Management is also understanding if needed weekends off.
Pros
50% off pizza
Cons
Work until 11

Unorganised

Poor Management and the Owner of the stores expects too much.
Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Littlehampton - 31 March 2022
When I first started at PJ it was a friendly and fun work environment as well as professional. It was an easy job with minimal complaints from both drivers and instore workers. Up until the start of 2022, the owner of the stores felt it was a good idea to steal drivers from our store for the other ones leaving us severely understaffed because the others were too. When its busy with orders with minimal drivers it makes all the orders extremely late and you are rushed off your feet and have to keep going until you've caught up and its very stressful for everyone. The workers from other stores slag off our staff at our stores to the owner for no reason. We are expected to meet unrealistic targets and are told we aren't doing a good enough job even though we are understaffed most of the time, some drivers even open at 11am and have to do instore jobs and drive at the same time and have been made to stay until almost 10pm. It was never like this and we always had staff but now the management and owner ship is very unprofessional and inexperienced and us drivers get the receiving end of it. Not a bad paying job but it feels like you never leave the place and its alot of stress.
Pros
85% off food, staff is young and friendly
Cons
Poor managment, expect to be asked to work on your days off, always understaffed especially on busy days, owner of the store is unfair.

Awful customer service awful employees
Delivery Rider (Former Employee) - Newbury - 30 March 2022
They lied about pay rising. I was putting in so many hours just to be taken for granted. They also failed to pay me the fuel mileage. This job is a joke. I wouldn’t recommend it if it was the last job on earth. They treat their employee terribly. 👎
Pros
N/a
Cons
Pay is awful.

Workable hours and free pizza
Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Deptford, Greater London - 15 March 2022
Overall a decent place to work. Pay is minimum wage so it's very poor and there always seem to be problems with payment. Drivers come and go so half the times they are always in need of delivery drivers. Benefits are free pizza and of you're lucky you'll get a assistant manager that would allow you take a drink or other things.

Fun and Chilled Work Environment
Staff Member (Current Employee) - Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taff - 14 March 2022
Definitely would recommend. However, if you are part time and need the 20 hours, you might not always get it unfortunately. Coworkers are amazing and they have respectful managers!
Pros
After shift dinners
