Very rewarding

Pros

There are some fantastic reward and recognition schemes that the company run during the busiest weeks of the year, outside of those it is great to read so many positive stories by employees at all levels on its own internal social media platform. Bosses at all levels are willing to talk and interact with you. Despite it often being hard work, it is also fun.

Cons

Unless you have parents that are willing to drive you everywhere you will probably need to either be able to drive or live so close to a site that you can walk/bike to work.

Thank you for your review, we appreciate that you left us this review some time ago but really appreciate the feedback. Great to hear that you feel the reward and recognition schemes are well received onsite. We are really proud of our fun and exciting culture and we are glad that you like to see the stories from other sites on our social media platform Jam. We are also really proud of our leadership culture where we try and ensure our leaders connect with every person in our business regardless of job title! it is an extremely valid point regarding travel to our sites, this can be tricky if you don't have access to your own transport. But on some of our sites we also have employees taking advantage of our cycle to work scheme, and getting fit and healthy whilst cycling into work. Thanks again for your amazing review Alexandra Walker - Head of Talent for Welcome Break

Great employee benefits including on site discounts in all brands and access to an employee discount site giving benefits at most high street stores. So many different brands that career opportunities are plentiful without having to leave the company

Cons

Will probably need to drive as most places are on the motorway
