What is the Breakroom Rating?

Close

We’re different from other job review sites.

Breakroom Ratings are a fair and objective measure of how good an employer is.

Instead of giving us a personal opinion of their workplace, everyone on Breakroom answers the same set of questions about their job.

This means we can measure what jobs are really like at an employer, and you can trust the Breakroom Rating to find out where’s best to work.

Featured Costco job reviews

  • Best thing

    The benefits, the optical cover, finishing before 10pm

    Stress, lack of true leadership, no accountability

    Care assistant, November 2020

    • £9.40 per hour
    • 25 or older
    • More than 3 years experience
    6.3/10

  • Best thing

    Great team

    Worst thing

    Management is horrible. Need to sort themselves out. No one can make a decision.

    Optical, October 2020

    • Manages people
    • £14.50 per hour
    • 25 or older
    • More than 3 years experience
    7.4/10

  • Best thing

    The pay is decent compared to other employees in the industry.

    Worst thing

    Unsociable irregular hours.
    Goal posts are changed frequently to suit the company.
    The company does not listen to good ideas that can either save money or provide better packages for its employees. Eg share schemes, salary sacrifice pension schemes to save both employer and employee NI contributions.

    • £13.25 per hour
