friendly staff, great pay

long hours, rude customers

Some tasks can be simple and therapeutic. Interactions with customers can be rewarding. Form close friendships with colleagues.

Understaffed. Manager who shouldn’t be qualified for the role. Workplace drama/gossip

Pay is goof for students who need a job and also isn't the hardest jobs for the pay

Most customers

Open hours
Nightshift customers get aggressive
Too much work on a close for the 3 staff members in
The Managers are lazy

The teams are really friendly, i have worked in various locations & had no problem with fitting in, staff respect my position within the company. The regular customers are amazing

Discount, Friendly Peers, Sometimes nice Customers, Nice environment

Very stressful! Quick pace all the time.
Management can be judgemental and rude, training is absolutely shocking, get no help at all, takes double the time it should

The Discount, making friends with co-workers, holiday hour pay is based on average worked hours not base pay so can get more money

Upper management are neglectful and expect store managers and staff to pick up after them, not paid enough to deal with the amount of rude customers, can not stick up for yourself from nasty customers- greggs company rules, breaks are too short to get anything done, 5:30/6am starts and 18:00/19:00 finishes, all day management shifts, senior team members (management below supervisors and managers) expected to know everything supervisors and managers know and the same responsability but only get paid 10p more than team members. No makeup other than natural, Piercings are banned, even if covered with blue plasters, cannot talk about company experiences online as can recieve warnings/disaplinares. Terrible at hiring new people and expecting staff to get on with 10x as much work on same pay. Company no longer do a yearly bonus. Not paid enough for the workload and physical training. Very hard to get new uniform, worn through shoes very fast and have to pay to replace every 6 months. Company keeps adding more daily rules and tasks for staffs to do but no pay increase. No other company benefits and no sick pay

50% discount
Profit share

Stressful, long hours, no flexibility, exhausting, no support from area managers, no loyalty

The team is great
Can always have a laugh and someone to talk to

Stressful
Can never have enough staff

• you get 50% off the price for greggs branded food but 25% off for other bits like the drinks and crisps.
• The staff members and management are friendly and easy to work with

• Everyone knows everyone in the company so word of mouth from one to another always flys around
• we are often understaffed with a lot of pressure to perform well and complete different tasks
• Breakfast time is always busy and you can be serving sometimes for 2-3 hours straight with no time for a break in between
• customers are often rude and feel entitled (but you are allowed by company rules to refuse service to anyone)

Discounts

Lack of communication
Holidays are hard to get
Loads of stress
Don’t get paid enough
Breaks are bad
Managers are sneaky and lie a lot
Get disaplined very easy over stupid things

The staff discounts
Simple ,relaxed job
Friendly staff

The pay

The start time

the benefits, the east access to get more hours

area management put a lot of pressure on staff

The staff team, I’ve met a great bunch of people who support you greatly

Work life balance, underpaid, harassment from customers, managers thinking greggs is everyone’s life. Changing the rota 2 days before the week starts. Getting 2 hours taken off you because of the pandemic and company needing to save hours/money but working double your contacted hours because they need staff and hours for contracts still hasn’t been changed or gone up. It’s been 2 years and the company is thriving.

The free food during breaks and at the end of a shift.

Some of the equipment/utensils are old or broken

Discount on food.

Very stressful especially when you're short staffed, training is poor, very little support if you have a disability or "difference" you don't get paid if you stay late even when your manager expects you to stay to finish everything off.

Rubbish management (bad attitude)
No consideration for home life and flexibility needed
Always have to work above contracted hours

The wages

The hard work busy days

My team
My customers

Previous managers poor attitude and effect on the team.

The pay and how friendly my colleges are.
