Awful company where only the big players reap the rewards
Pros
not much to be honest.
Cons
Working at SSP for almost 4 months now. The pay is minimum wage while working at a SSP franchise branch of M&S, considering how much profit is made that is diabolical for a company to pay so little. The staff also get a 15% discount which at M&S while working minimum wage they should not have bothered with the discount. However we used to get free lunch, this was taken down to give us a discount card, shortly after I had found out the managers got a bonus on their pay check for the removal of a free staff lunch (funny how this was never mentioned to the other staff). This company is all about greed, greed and more greed. The people reaping the rewards of your hard work are the managers and higher up. SSP don't even internally train their own managers, they bring them over from other places to save costs on training, which means less chance on you moving up the company. Shops are constantly understaffed (to save costs again). I've worked at McDonald's and I would go back in a heartbeat.
