What are bar staff saying about pay at Greene King?

  • Best thing

    Friendly working environment never want for extra hours decent employee discounts and training

    Worst thing

    Long hours, understaffed shifts on most days where the staff working are forced to pick up extra work can be highly stressful environment during busy hours expected to train staff you work with while its not your job role to do so

    Forced to stay behind late at when work is not done your paid for it but its last minute notice manger has said if it takes too long he wont pay the staff

    There are common conflicts between mangers, kitchen and front of house delt with behind the building but sours the entire team and shift when it happens

    Regular meetings are held whicg your not allowed to miss unless your on holiday, but these feel more like manager complaints to the staff and any issues like staffing the staff are told to get reviews to bring customers in so they have the income to hire more staff
