Pros

Make lovely Artisan bread but at expense of treating employees as common day slaves. Underpays hungarian and Polish staff compared to other employees.

Cons

employees need to work 9 hr shifts with only 1/2 hr break. They are not allowed to wear work uniform in kitchen so this takes 10 min to take off and on, hence only 20 min break for 9 hour hard manual labour shift. tiny kitchen for 500 employees. Underpays hungarian and Polish staff. No overtime rates or weekend rates.

Poor management and toxic culture

Pros

Some colleagues are supportive, and the job itself can be straightforward.

Cons

Unfortunately, my experience was overshadowed by serious issues within the management and workplace culture. • Management lacks basic leadership and communication skills. • Health and safety concerns are frequently ignored or covered up, even when staff are affected. • There is a culture of secrecy and distrust — some employees are used to monitor others and report back. • Accusations are made without evidence, and any requests for clarification or proof are completely dismissed. • Expectations are unclear, yet you’re still blamed when something isn’t done “correctly.” • Two-faced behaviour is common — things may seem fine to your face, but there’s a lot of negativity and gossip behind the scenes.

Pros

There are ABSOLUTELY no pros to this job.

Cons

Horrible environment. Beware, they make you do an unpaid trial shift first and then you’re lucky if you even get hired.
