Perfectionist culture with long days full of drama

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Taste test new recipes and products. Office is in Camberwell which is close to the city. Remote/hybrid working is working well for the company.

Cons

The culture makes people work beyond 9-5. The culture suits perfectionists, despite having little to no systems in place. The company is not relaxed and everything is completed with urgency. Managers play favourites with their team which is good if you know how to suck up.

WORST COMPANY TO WORK FOR

Sales manager/fulltime

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are no pros in this industry, it is a very toxic industry. Causes depression and anxiety. Constantly being asked to upsell and promised commissions. No commissions were given. Bad hygiene in ALL stores, constant cockroaches and rats in some stores.

Cons

This industry is not stable! Had to fight several times to keep full-time job as a sales manager. Even if you work hard and build sales while in a company store, a franchise buys store and kicks everyone out, job is not stable even if on a full-time contract. Was ripped of thousands of dollars by not being paid right. Franchises are under paying staff, not paying laundry allowances, not paying after 6pm pay, or public holiday rates or not paying 12 hour breaks between shifts. Also making it hard to have a social life but making managers not have any holidays and constantly being made to be on phone during days off and go into the store on days off without extra pay.

Don't Apply There

Business Outlook

Pros

Only good thing about this job is the co-workers, well, some of them!

Cons

The pay is way below minimum, no Sunday/ public holidays pay. They expect so much of you when you get so little money and so little care. The boss doesn't care about anything else but the money, She doesn't even ask you about your day. it is impossible to enjoy it there because of the silly complaints. No one likes to there! the boss doesn't do anything but complains about the sales! Don't Apply There.
