Pros

Not much to say, colleagues were ok,

Cons

Management unstable and incompetent, place was dirty and disorganised. Seemed a little too focused on money without much genuine care for the workers.

They don't care that staff members are touching your bum.

Pros

Weekly pay £1 meal Discount

Cons

Manager didn't care that someone was touching staff and saying things he shouldn't. Mangers don't listen to you. "You get paid for your job, do it" Favouritism shown by race. 1 staff member will come late 5mins and be told that they should leave if they can't come on time, while another staff member comes 20mins late everyday and its fine. Mangers like to come out and work when other manager comes by, otherwise they just sit in the office. Managers don't assist when it is busy, they go on insta/ tiktok
