Best thing
The discount
Worst thing
The other staff members, I have never worked somewhere with other people that felt so awkward and lonely and uncomfortable. There is no motivation to work hard. Minimum wage, dealing with bad customers and the same repetitive shifts over and over again. Just a bad place to be, there’s no enjoyment to be had.

Best thing
40% discount but to be fair you get quite sick of the food very quickly so doesn’t really come into use. The people (colleagues not managers) are great
Worst thing
Some Managers are often unbelievably disrespectful, rude and disgusting towards staff. Staff members crying on shift over how they’re treated. Managers ignoring me regarding my desire to change hours even though I’m being rota’ed significantly over my contract, hours I cannot do.

Best thing
Besides working with amazing people with different backgrounds and life purpose, you get to enjoy your day with them and sometimes learn new things on everything. The rota can be flexible and requests can be accepted so long as you are honest and with integrity towards your colleagues.
Worst thing
Customers can of course be ungrateful and more importantly self entitled for certain things. Some restaurants are faced with long awaiting repair and maintenance which would benefit the company but dont happen for a long time. Feelings of stress and loosing control can occur often if the day doesn't go the way you hope for.

Managers can be quite unprofessional. Have to book holiday, can’t save it, as otherwise my manager will give me random weeks off

Best thing
Team trips away
Worst thing
New KPI's are exhausting. All staff are paid minimum wage which only attracts students. Its impossible to run a restaurant with all part time employees.
Management haven't seen a fair pay increase in comparison to minimum wage.
Area managers have no idea what's going on and plays favourites. General managers not in store or doing proper hours, arwa managers looking after favourite restaurants by moving money and sales so they reach bonus while other restaurants get nothing.
I've been promised development loads of times and nothing happens while others seem to get all the opportunities.
The ethos when I joined was make money and have fun. Now its all micro managed and data heavy. The fun has been lost.Nando’s Employee, May 2023
