Pret A Manger Careers and Employment

It wasn’t that bad just be well prepared. They ask questions like why Pret ? And if you know much about the role. They ask about your availability and if u have any related experience.

Pret has cut our discounts, benefit, bonus and the paid breaks in covid. But we are expected to work the same pace, same smile, same everything. We need a Union.

How did I feel about telling people I worked at Pret A Manger? I feel ashamed! I regret my 2 years there and never felt so patronised, used, undervalued, underpaid and treated like garbage! When people ask me where I worked, I never mention Pret or if I mention my experience, then just that I was a sandwich maker in a cafe.

Yes, depending whether the shop is open on weekends. However, you get the same pay as any team member. None of that £3/4/5 nonsense!

You often work more as managers miscalculate the rota, first cutting staff then it's always busy so they ask oeople to stay longer. Managers even cut hours below the 35 contracted hours and justify this with dome written rules I never knew about. My hours were cut to zero over the Christmas period where I was forced to look for another shop. Lots of favouritism going on,if the manager doesn't like you he/she gives you either less hours that you don't have much money, or they overwork and exhaust you that you don't have a private life.

The working hours are a mess. One week you work 60 hrs the next 30 it all depends what the manager needs. You have no life like this.

2 months depending upon job title

Yes, they can. But who would want to start again after being fired!

Pret has cut our discounts, benefit, bonus and the paid breaks in covid. But we are expected to work the same pace, same smile, same everything. We need a Union.

It depends on the manager and if you are there friend. When you lose someone in family, you get a few days off but then are expected to function and smile. When you injure yourself, they don't believe you. You are not a human in pret, you have to be a machine.
