Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Whitbread plc to a friend?
No
Why?
It is very profit based. It’s a chain - like most chains they just want to see how much life they can drain before you go else where. If it wasn’t for the team, ide be gone
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Whitbread plc?
Use it as a stepping stone. Whilst you’re studying. Don’t get stuck in hospitality unless you love it so much you will make a career out of it. It’s very demanding and will take most of your social life out of the equation
