    Prezzo Duty manager, May 2023

  • Best thing

    free food on shifts.

    Worst thing

    Management don’t care about anyone’s well being, managers and staff will talk about you while your stood in front of them. My manager stated that i was on sick leave for stomach ache when i had told her it was mental health related, she told me she didn’t want to fill out the extra paperwork for my issue. The head chef will constantly yell and swear at staff and the atmosphere is just horrible. Prezzo is filled with bullies.

  • Best thing

    A couple of the staff are good friends of mine, but the pros don’t outweigh the cons I’m afraid

    Worst thing

    My manager is immature, selfish, rude, and above all else, unprofessional. Myself and the rest of the kitchen team are treated unfairly (as are the FOH staff), and I’m not aware of any other staff higher up to report this to.
