Thanks for taking the time to write us a review. Our rewards and benefits programmes are something we are very proud off but we are sorry to hear you feel you did have a good work life balance. We strive to ensure all off our team have a minimum 3 weeks rosters so they can plan in advance. Thanks

Pros

- Lots of high street brands and business types, therefore a great place to learn many disciplines, standards and cultures. - Massive opportunities to move around and progress within the company all the way up to mid-senior/senior level. - As per above, Welcome Break value worked experience in the business equally to, if not more so than, any formal qualifications. - Lively and vibrant business; lots of fun in a very fast-moving environment.

Cons

- Welcome Break appear to be pursuing a growth through selection strategy, adding many new brands and business units. As such, most of the annual capital budget each year gets spent on building new drive thru Starbucks stores and similar, meaning that funding is tight for non-profit generating projects or systems. - As per above, some back of house systems are antiquated and inappropriate for the size of business; many critical business processes still occur within unprotected Excel workbooks etc. - This a 24/7/365 industry. Be mindful that in operational positions you will be asked to work evenings, nights, weekends, and bank holidays, including Christmas day etc. In more senior operational positions this will be virtually mandatory.

Thank you for the taking the time to provide feedback and give us a review. It's great to hear you enjoy working for Welcome Break but sorry to hear you feel there are limited career progression. I would recommend you speak to your line manager as there are some fantastic opportunities, alternatively check out the internal career opportunities on Drive, you can also set up a job alert so you are kept informed of new and exciting role. Thanks
