Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Pret to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I was working in hospitality industry before but after I started to work for Pret I also started to grow professionally. After 9 moths working for Pret I was in training to be leader and since then I also already made huge step up. I can see my skills are improving and I see I am also learning new skill. In other way Pret provide stabile job and they look after people.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Pret?
Don't be scared, be nice and honest and always be professional. Be friendly but keep your personal life separated to your work. Always look at your co-workers, if someone is better in work which you also do, ask them. How are you doing it ? And then do it in their way.
