Pros

Perfect for a part time job

Cons

Poor training, doesn't care about the staff, company likes to cut corners where possible and most of the time you're on shift by yourself for 8 hours with no break

Having worked for a better company I now see how bad applegreen is!

Pros

Where do I start, I worked as a BK manager for a long time (since opening 2011) As a company they really don't know how to do business right.. Head office (area managers) especially will come in and bully you in front of staff and customers often reducing people to tears. The only reason I'm glad I worked here is that I appreciate my new job as a manager so much more in a different company. I used to work up to 16 hour days for weeks on end with no days off no support from management and certainly no thanks at the end of it. They really need to cop in as a company it's pathetic in this day and age! The money is crap too and so is to your quality of life when working here!! Definitely wouldn't recommend AG to anyone!

Cons

As above everything about my time here could have been a lot better. Best decision ever to leave!

Easy job but don't expect to be treated nice.

Pros

In some of the bigger sites there is room for progression within the company.

Cons

Zero staff benefits. Do not even get a free coffee or tea. Pay stays at minimum wage no matter how long you are there. Unsociable hours, weekends off are very rare. Managers do not respect staff, no positive feedback given, no training. Staff are expected to pay for a drive off when they have little or not control. No canteen for staff and no facilities.
