Pros
I met great people here from some managers and mainly team leaders and members. Going up the ladder is easy as long as you brown nose the management
Cons
The cons are endless. Management do not care about you, they don't care if you have cancer (exaggeration) they will ask why you called in sick, hound you and ask you to come for some hours. They will charge you £50 for a plastic discount card, if you lose it, that offers a USELESS 15% off M&S products and 50% off from burger king and some pastry shops. They use the same barcode instead of having a unique id for each thus charging a minimum age worker £50 for plastic. The company has an absurd amount of policies including a letter of concern for coming in late twice within 3 months, no matter how many times you come to work sick, or how many extra hours you sacrifice they don't care, YOU ARE A BARCODE. WAKE UP PEOPLE, THESE CORPORATIONS ARE FILTH. They have threatening policies displayed all over the staff room where we eat for our breaks, its meant to be a place to relax and enjoy your food. They employ staff from overseas who can't speak a word of english and put them on the tills LMAO The management is insensitive to people and thier problems disrupting their work, HELLO DEMOTIVATING YOUR STAFF DOES YOUR SALES WONDERS It is like SSP is run by simpletons. I stopped many thieves saving hundreds of pounds for SSP, now i let the thieves take what they want by staying idle and brain dead like the automaton they want me to be. Demotivation loses you sales, who woulda guessed? Treat your "bottom-feeders" right and maybe the reviews will change, no one wants to work for you, staff leave everyday.
