Welcome Break Response

Hi thanks for your review. It feels like you may have a local issue reference your transport issue as we do not pay employees fuel money to get to work, so I would encourage you to speak to your Site Leader if you have a problem. Thanks

Provided lunch. Good company discounts.

Cons

A lot of change always happens at one. Feels like firefighting.

Welcome Break Response

Hi thanks for your review. We have seen a lot of change this year as we have joined together as a business with Applegreen and in the Finance team I think you have felt the change the most. I would encourage you to speak to your Line Manager so they know how you feel.

Good when I started two years ago but now I’m happy to be gone.

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly environment and had great relationships with colleagues. Decent 50% discount on most of the brands.

Cons

Completely focussed on cost cutting so customer experience suffers. Most of my colleagues have also become overworked and now people are starting to leave. Hard work goes unnoticed and limited progression opportunities. Management do not care about their staff especially for regional managers. Also let their power go to their head. It’s toxic and unprofessional to see regional managers tell off site managers in a Starbucks store in front of customers.

Thanks for your review. I have passed on your comments to the relevant Managers so that they can review the areas you have raised at a local level.
