I worked at Pret A Manger full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Doesn't matter how useless you are they will hire you.
Cons
Very bad management, favoritism, bullying, too much unnecessary pressure in the workers, specialy if you are a hard worker, they will make you do everything so managers, leaders and their friends can be lazy and have fun while you suffer. They will treat you like you are nothing, and if you try to complain you will see how head office protects their managers only and the rest of the staff are numbers, disposable.
You will feel worthless.
Long hours when they need you and cutting hours when they don't.
I have work in different shops and they are all very similar, it is a toxic enviroment, Never in my life I have seen so many different coworkers cry in the job.
Avoid!
