Great employer, friendly atmosphere

Anonymous employee

Pros

The people are great here; it's friendly and welcoming (excuse the unintended pun), the CEO has a great sense of humour, and there is a broad range of opportunities. I'm fairly new here and really enjoying it so far.

Cons

So far, I haven't come across any, really. I guess I could comment on the lack of adequate parking at the head office.

Pros

Great team of people led by a very hands on senior team. A 24/7 industry but hard work with much fun and good rewards. Opportunities across the UK for career moves and opportunities, in a multitude of brands within Catering, Retail & Hotels.

Cons

Fast paced customer environment. Not for those who don't love people.

Pros

If you work hard and to a high performance there are some excellent career opportunities, what i particularly love is there are different career pathways, whether you would like to learn more about operations, people, IT, Finance etc. There are lots of different avenues all under one roof. The senior team are friendly and welcoming but most importantly it has a nice warm feeling. Excellent benefits which can save you a lot of money on every day things, definitely a bonus in my eyes

Cons

Some of the locations aren't accessible by public transport so you will need to drive, have lovely friends/ family or on a keep fit mission.
