Pizza Express Employer Reviews

normaly work on weekend,double shifts it is hardest part
no life

Great place to work. Friendly staff. Hardest part of the job were the hours.

a full busy restaurant that helped me grow and develope my manager skills

great co workers all with a great attitude towards the job.

hardest part of the job was the high turn over of tables the restaurant was always busy but that was always good as it kept us going.

most enjoyable part was the great customer service training that was provided

I was trained to make pizzas, salads and doing the preps. At the end of the shift we had to clean our sections, do the defrost and check the fridge temperatures. The management was good and the co-workers were friendly. The hardest part of the job was the cleaning, because we were tired at the end of the shift. The most enjoyable part was, when was – more... it busy and we could stretch our skills to its limits. – less

I had not worked in a proper kitchen till i started here and soon was doing shifts on my own and taking charge of the cleaning and getting stock ready for the following shifts.
The job was enjoyable but they came to over rely on me as I lived in walking distance so i frequently ended up covering shifts on my day off.
The worst part of the job was the – more... weekend hours I would always be working 24 hours in total for Saturday and Sunday every week. – less

- Nice and easy open. I have 2 Hours to do the prep. 1130 we opening restaurant for costumers. If it Wednesday, Friday and Saturday we expecting busy day.

- I learned how to work in team. How to communicate with each other, how to solve problems when it's busy time. Learn English as well :)

- Pizza Express Bullring - best co-workers. Especially kitchen – more... staff. Always helping to each other.

- Hardest time - when it's rush time and when you have nothing in a kitchen. Vegetables etc.

-The most enjoyable is .. pay day. – less

The best thing I can take from working for the company, was that it taught me to deal with pressure very well. Also, I learned a lot of leadership skills from organising a busy kitchen.
Although it was very hard work at times there was a great sense of achievement on successfully getting through the service and making every customer leave happy.

work was good but the managment of that perticular store was ridiculous and nasty

pizza express is a very bad place to work for as they only offern a very limited amout of hours of work per week which normally is arround 10 hours.
Those 10 hours are spread between 2/3 days, so people ends up working 3 hours per day.
therefore is a very selfish company because they do not think about they employees at all.
I'm very desapointed with – more... this company. – less

I worked in the licensing division responsible for growing sales and profits for PizzaExpress through the Grocery channel.
You have to be effective at mobilising and controlling the performance of licensing partners.
The management team needs experience of consumer led commercial brand management.
My co-workers were cut from this cloth.
The hardest – more... part of the job is managing third parties to acheive your goals and not having control over your own distribution.
The best part of the job is setting the agenda and seeing your plans succeed. – less

I'm looking forward to any job and any experience that I get from my working place. I'm hard working person, I can work on weekends and over times. I have excellent communication skills, teamwork skills-showing and confirming previous experiences that I had with teamwork skills. Interpersonal skills-make team work more efficient and identifying methods – more... used when dealing with conflicts. Organization skills-I'm able to organize in a quick and clear manner and show that I'm not afraid to take charge of a situation and find a solution. – less

Whether is a fun place or not to work in it depends entirely on the staff. In my experience I always enjoyed working here because I became very attached to my staff and them to me. My "type" of management is a compassionate one. I connect with my employees by listening to their problems and/or concerns as well as fun stories and positive anecdotes. – more... I found that sharing more with them made them work "with me" rather than "for me". The hardest part of the job would definitely be whatever situation on which I would be forced to give them a bad time in regards to their performance, especially when the company mainly focuses on just numbers rather than experience. – less

the dinamics of the teams chnged from shift to shift. The smooth running of the shift depended on the managers we had each day, the staff were generally great. working well together. I enjoyed interacting with the customers and serving them.

My co-workers are friendly and pleasant the hardest part of the job customer satisfaction the most enjoyable part of the job dealing with people.

The work is hard but fulfilling.
The staff work in a shift pattern, and are well trained and friendly.

The hardest part of the job is when the restaurant is not busy. I will find other things to do such as work in a busy wash up area. and offer assistance to my colleagues like clearing tables etc.
The most enjoyable par of the job is interaction between both customers and co-workers. – less

Working at pizza express is enjoying what you do. serving beautiful food with a smile and proud. i learnt team work is very important in pizza express, great team.

When you start they treat you really nice a few weeks later, the older staff take you the best customers in order to get the better tips; they never give you more than 3 tables by defending that you are inexperience however even on trial you might work alone if it is a day that anyone wants to work (sundays).the management forced you to take breaks – more... in order to save money even if your shift is only 4 hours; they offer you a contract with 5 hours (even if you applied for full time hours)
You are responsible for the the pots including the kitchen pots wash I could go on and on and on...... – less
