Pros
Obviously every bar is different to work at so I'll try and make this review as relevant to working at a Fullers pub generally. There can be a lot of flexibility when working at a Fullers pub, especially with hours. We got a lot of offers to work shifts at other nearby Fullers pubs if we wanted more hours and had a few temp workers at our pub for the same. Employee discounts are pretty good, we had a 35% discount in all Fullers pubs at one point which was great. Be warned though that the discount only works at pubs owned by Fullers, not ones who are just licensed by Fullers, I still don't know if there is any way to tell the difference other than asking at the bar. It varies from pub to pub but at the place I worked we were allowed to put service charge on all bookings and on any sizeable party who came for food, which meant a pretty decent portion of the salary was the shared tips.
Cons
The managers bonus is based purely on profit yet as a bar staff your only bonus (tips) are based on the service you provide. There isn't much friction here as the manager obviously wants to provide the best possible service as well but it does mean you might get a manager who gets upset about minor stuff.

Thanks for the review of working with us here at Fuller's. As well as being able to use your discount at Fuller's you can use your Indulgence card at any Stable Pizza site. We are always looking at ways we can reward the team so lookout for further benefits appearing soon.
