Pros
Various bonuses for providing excellent service, free lunch, room for growth for those willing to strive for excellence
Cons
...unless you just get lucky and know somebody, then you can do a terrible job. Standards have dropped in recent years, growing animosity between team members and even their managers, training new employees is very sporadic and not everyone is trained properly, management standards have also lowered, if you're a manager, good luck trying to have a life.
Advice to Management
You guys really need to start training people by following a system, not however and whenever you feel like it. Also, keep on your people. Make sure everyone is working as a team and make sure everyone can respect you, or else everybody will gossip about you and give you the side eye.

Pros
Easy to move up within the company
Cons
They don’t pay their leaders enough money. They transfer you from store to store if the gm don’t like you
Advice to Management
Try and give better raises to your employees and don’t transfer people out so frequently

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Pret A Manger part-time
Pros
Free food & you get paid weekly
Cons
Unprofessional staff, youre not even trained properly they just throw you in there and if youre lucky someone who isnt BRAND NEW (btw literally had someone that got hired 4 days before me showing me the ropes)will notice you dont know what youre doing and assist you...not enough breaks...I do not recommend!
Advice to Management
Create an effective 1 week onboarding program where each day the new hires can either shadow other team members in different areas such as hot food, baking the pastries and rolls, where things are located that will need to be restocked ect. Basically .. id only work here again if I could be hired for that specifically. -peace.
