Pros
Fancy food from cheap ingredients
Cons
It was my first job. I was treated very badly. The supervisor was not good at all. They fix the working schedule upon their wishes. It used to be hectic at work, running the shift by myself. Super bad experience.

Pros
Plenty of free coffee to keep you going.
Cons
I worked at Pret for 3 years and nothing has changed. It was an extremely stressful workplace. The leaders were extremely demanding and were not friendly to me. I did not get fair hours and the work I did should have been paid more. Leaders sit around and talk about everyone and it takes forever for help to come.
