Pret A Manger Employee Review
Terrible workplace, very uncomfortable atmosphere, lazy managers
I worked only a few months and hated every moment of it. At first I was excited to start my job as I heard about how pret values customers. But than I understood why, we have to display fake smiles and happyness and it made me depressed. I wanted to advance my career but the managers I worked with made difficult because they only chose those they favored. Pret is not how they sell themselves to the public and new workers. I recommend to join a union asap! I left pret and dont want to work in this type of environment again. Better off working in lower paid for less stress. Terrible company.
