      Pros

      Lovely pub fun colleagues with a great team atmosphere. Learnt plenty here and the long days were so busy time flew by.

      Cons

      Pay was lower than other pubs in the area. We were short staffed for months after some staff moved on. No Sundays allowed off even as holidays in a year. Left so I could see my husband.

      Hi there thank you for your honest feedback. It's great to hear that you worked in a fun atmosphere and learned a lot, however, we would really like to resolve what you said about being short-staffed and not being allowed Sundays off. Please could you email us at recruitment@fullers.co.uk to discuss this further?

                Pros

                Really great team. 15% discount across all fullers pubs. Decent staff food.

                Cons

                Rota not available in advance. Minimum wage with no opportunity for an increase. No service charge. Nepotism. Very clicky. The manager would hide in the office and even when in the pub wouldn't say hello to staff. I felt this company hired people new to the UK who didn't know their rights and somewhat exploited them.

                    Cons

                    Head office are greedy and overbook the pub and then won’t pay for enough staff to work. Many hours have been cut during the busy season which make it impossible for the pub to function. Bullying from management to lower staff members. Formal complaints never addressed. Management don’t seem to care about their employees even though they are the ones carrying the workload. Very few opportunities for progression No staff meals

                      Case Manager

                      I applied to 4 jobs last week. Two companies replied that thy are reviewing my application and I have an interview tomorrow with a third. The company I'm interviewing with is the one I'm least interested in of the four, though it is better than my current job. What is the etiquette if I'm offered a job with this company but I want to wait and see what response I get from the other 3? Should I tell the company I need a couple weeks to decide, or be up front that I'm waiting for other offers? Or?

                      Underwriter

                      During my interview with a Vice President, he mentioned that the "background check" had been reviewed. He brought up cities I had lived in at one point, even though I hadn't included that information on my resume or LinkedIn profile, though it is accurate. Additionally, he was aware of my entrepreneurship experience, which I had not disclosed anywhere. I'm curious about the source of this information. I'm currently progressing through the interview rounds without any offer or signed documents.

                      Underwriter

                      I’m moving on to round 3 of the interview process after speaking with the VP and it’ll be with peers. My position would be Insurance Product Manager so the peers would be internal stakeholders (Sales, Engineering, Underwriting, Actuary, etc.) What kind of questions typically do peer interviews ask?
