Pros
. Monthly Coffee Allowance . Gifts at Easter/Christmas . Quarterly and Annual Bonus . Use the job as a point to apply for secure internal vacancies within Nestle. This is what anybody with sense seems to do.
Cons
. No work/life balance. . No support for health and wellbeing. . Expected to cover shifts at short notice - viewed unfavourably and regarded as "not a team player" if you decline. . Forced to book your entire years holiday entitlement in January - impossible to plan your life. . Never leave a shift on time, always expected to work overtime. This never gets paid as the company views itself as "not quid pro". . Expected to read and sign new rules and regulations constantly. Very easy to loose track of current rules - this will be used against you at any opportunity. . Impossible to track current quarterly and annual bonus progress as you will never get access to a company pc to access the SSIP service. . Will be treat like a child and talked down to from management . Will be treat like a servant whenever any of the pretentious, high and mighty Gatwick based staff come to visit the boutique. Expect to be a coat rack, bell boy, waiter and fountain of knowledge; all whilst performing your regular duties. . IT systems are useless. The Nessoft till systems are archaic and backwards. PDQ readers are not linked to the tills so there is a large margin for error. . You have to wear the Nespresso uncomfortable uniform. Includes itchy "Blackpool rock" striped shirt, grey flannel parachute pants, uncomfortable foam banana soled brogues and the most pathetic excuse of a belt you will ever experience. .You are essentially working for an unethical African baby killing, Holocaust supporting, water thieving, Robert Mugabe loving, rainforest hating conglomerate. You will frequently be made to preach about the positive contributions Nespresso and Nestle make to this world. If like me you have any personal code of ethics this will quickly become debilitating.
