Lack of workers per shift and a lot of standing in your feet

Not great

Assistant manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Meal allowance £10 a day

Cons

No management structure what so ever. Very much a "if your face fits" culture.

Welcome Break Response

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. It's great that you motioned the £10 meal allowance and we hope that you are enjoying that benefit. It's not good to read your comments about 'if your face fits' as this is not what we want to hear about the company. If you can reach out to me on Recruitment.Admin@WelcomeBreak.co.uk I'd really like to hear more about your experience and see what we can do to address the issue. Kind Regards, Charlotte Hughes Resourcing Advisor, Welcome Break
