What Greggs employees say about their job
-
Best thing
50% discount and profit share but that’s capped after 5 years service and also taxed
Worst thing
For a Greater London engineering job it’s quite low pay compared to others in the same sector and the hours required for the job are long for the pay.
Greggs Engineer, February 2023
-
Best thing
Choosing your own shifts and fast paced, day goes quickly. Pay is good too
Worst thing
Pressure on profit controls. Never have enough labour to get the job done and it gets tighter and tighter every year. To the point where you end up working through your breaks or skipping tasks that you consider important food safety tasks. Managers are very tired people, because of this, so days off are spent recovering rather than a day of pleasure. Also when you reach shop manager its very hard to progress to any other role.
