Pros

Free food for managers and good discount for staff. Free drinks for all

Too much paperwork. Always feel like your covering your backside so people love to dish out disciplinary. Some very sly team members/ management.

Pros

50% Discount Great Team (owing to the UBM) Fast-Paced Working Environment

Cons

Poor Management Several UBM's have been able to retain employment despite gross mismanagement Poor Site Director - despite the Famous Five, still do not want to get their hands dirty Lack of consideration for anybody other than those in authoritative positions Recognition is very poor Uniform needs to be adapted to meet weather conditions Efforts need to be made my management team and others to get to know regular workers so lack of engagement from senior members means lack of engagement from workers to work for you Rota changes without adequate notice No reasoning behind certain decisions (to cut rotas, extend opening hours and to reduce staff) Lack of consultation process with staff when implementing new changes

Pros

Great people Great discounts Great Brands Good Career programs Ability to transfer between brands for added experience and variety.

Cons

Wages aren't competitive for management and over 25's and for management it is hard to get a healthy work-life balance as you are expected to cover any sickness and do overtime which isn't paid extra.
