Great career progression

Pros

I have worked for Welcome Break for two years and in that time have progressed from team member to running my own unit. I have received tremendous amounts of support at my time in Welcome Break to pursue a career here and feel my best interests have always been at the centre of every decision. My Site Operations Manager is a fantastic leader and an even better coach! There is various benefits packages (more popping up all the time) to take advantage of and the career paths are well structured. Welcome break is a fast paced company operating several well known brands giving you the opportunity to gain lots of experience in hospitality and retail whilst having continuity of leadership to support you on your journey!

Cons

I spend a lot of time at work but this is largely through choice than necessity

Pros

Brilliant internal development opportunities and career progression with class room based learning alongside on the job learning and experiences. Flexible working hours. Incredible benefits platform - it doesn't matter if you work 4 hours or 40 hours a week you are still eligible. Great atmosphere on site - Yes you have to work hard but it can be fun too!

Cons

The work can be physically demanding.

Thank you for your review. It is fantastic to hear that you feel we have great career progression within our business and are able to work flexibly, as well as a benefits package for our teams that we are really proud of. The job can be physically demanding at times so we do encourage our teams to get the balance right and look after our personal well being. If you feel like we could do even more of this then please let us know. Our reward and recognition culture is fundamental too our culture and business success so yes we must continue to protect and maintain this. Thanks again for your review.
