Pros

I joined SSP only 3 months ago and already feel excited at the opportunities that are available here. I've been welcomed in by a lot of people who are always willing to answer questions about how we do business (super helpful as a newbie to the industry!). I've met a lot of people who have been with the business for a number of years and who have held multiple roles across several departments, giving me confidence that the company promotes from within and allows colleagues to fulfil their potential by exploring new opportunities. The business is busy and proactive, and I feel confident there is a clear strategy being executed on from UK and global leadership that is driving positive long-term growth for the business. The big discount across SSP's own and franchise brands is also a massive perk (and it goes to friends and families too!).

Cons

None so far as yet - there were a lot of forms to complete during the onboarding process but I know this is being rectified following feedback from candidates.

Pros

The employee meal discount is genuinely helpful since bringing food into the airport or buying it from outside is difficult. Many hourly employees are friendly, supportive, and hardworking. Most frontline managers try their best and often go above and beyond despite the pressure they face.

Cons

Senior leadership in the Northeast region operates with intimidation, ego, and favoritism, creating a toxic and unprofessional environment. Schedules are changed constantly with little notice, and employees are expected to work long, exhausting hours without regard for work–life balance. When employees speak up about burnout or need to call out due to exhaustion, they are often targeted instead of supported. Union employees frequently earn more than the supervisors responsible for managing them, which creates tension and undermines morale. Promotions are based on personal relationships rather than merit, and nepotism is widespread across multiple levels of leadership. HR functions more as a disciplinary weapon than a neutral resource for resolving issues or supporting employees. The overall culture is retaliatory, inconsistent, and not aligned with ethical or sustainable business practices.
