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.
