    Worst thing

    Manager and leading supervisor are both horrible. You’re not allowed to take time off even if ill with a doctors note. And if they don’t like you, they will reduce your hours to 4 a week even if you were contracted for 20. They isolate you and create a toxic workplace within the store and gossip about you like 13 year olds

    2.8

    Sandwich artist at Subway, November 2024

  • Best thing

    I love the people that I work with, I get along with everyone there and we have a laugh together but we also get the work done so it tends to run smoothly. The hours are sometimes great for if you’re a student and need that extra bit of money coming in. I left my previous job for reasons of my own and I can say that I am physically and mentally happier in my place of work now.

    Worst thing

    The hours aren’t good enough for everyone trying to have money to live on. After rent there’s times where I have £6 to last me two weeks until my next payslip. There’s been times where I’ve been assaulted by customers and there’s nothing that has been done from the manager or higher up. I’ve spoken to the police but I’m still waiting on a response from them. There’s times when I feel like I’ve ran the shift all by myself or I’ve had to take changes because my colleagues (who are getting paid more than me) are sat on their phone or are doing god knows what when I’ve asked for help multiple times.

    Manager always makes the new people clean and let's the other staff make the food.
