Pros
Free food every day worked At least one trip abroad every year Annual bonus Just an amazing culture overall, hard to maintain our relaxed informal culture as we grow, but we're doing a ruddy good job of it. The office is tucked away in Putney, so away from the horrible horribleness of Zone 1.
Cons
Not necessarily a con but the whole industry isn't in the strongest state which causes a bit of nervousness
Advice to Management
Keep the old culture alive!

Pros
Overall a very friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Very good for students, as they are flexible, there was no problem with reducing my hours when I had more studies to do. You get a free meal on the shift. You get paid breaks; for 5 hours you get 20 minutes break, for 8 hours 30 minutes break, for 9 hours 40 minutes, for 10 hours and more one hour break and for 12 hours and more one hour and a half. And you can eat...

After a couple of years working in Nando's, I get the same pay as a person that has worked there for a couple of months. Their career progression is very bad and they make it very difficult to progress. They don't value their long term employees, that is why many people leave. Again that also is probably dependent on what region you are based in.
Advice to Management
Value your long-term employees more.
