Horrible Management and Benefits

Pros

I worked on Applegreen for 1 year and really could not find any pros.

Cons

The company are so scabbing that you have to pay even for a cup of tea or coffee, you don't have a dedicated area for your lunch, you have to sit with customers in your break time. The management look like they don't have a clue about what they are doing. Very bad roster management.

Pros

Where do I start, I worked as a BK manager for a long time (since opening 2011) As a company they really don't know how to do business right.. Head office (area managers) especially will come in and bully you in front of staff and customers often reducing people to tears. The only reason I'm glad I worked here is that I appreciate my new job as a manager so much more in a different company. I used to work up to 16 hour days for weeks on end with no days off no support from management and certainly no thanks at the end of it. They really need to cop in as a company it's pathetic in this day and age! The money is crap too and so is to your quality of life when working here!! Definitely wouldn't recommend AG to anyone!

Cons

As above everything about my time here could have been a lot better. Best decision ever to leave!

Pros

Getting to make connections in the Retail and Quick Service Restaurant industries. They seem to encourage diversity. As a minority in leadership, I'm rarely the only minority in the room which is refreshing.

Cons

Cooperate will make changes and then communicate to you at 5PM to execute it by the next day. Higher ups will constantly slice the labor budget but then reprimand you when things don't get completed or have a delay in completion. No work life balance. Since the plazas are 24 hours they demand you're available 24/7. The higher ups are the type of people to schedule a holiday party the same day as a Full Store Audit just so they can avoid the responsibility. Which leaves you to work a 15 hour day doing it alone... Then seem baffled that you're upset about it...
