Nando's Pay & benefits reviews

This company was very good up until Covid/Brexit. After that they completely lost their ways and their new mentality is “just get on with it”. They say everybody is accepted all culture welcome but in reality that’s only apply if you are go out of your way to be “friendly” with upper management. You are not rated for the work you do. If you lucky and have a good general manager you could have a better work life but there are way too many bullies in this position to now days and they do absolutely nothing about them doesn’t matter how many complaints they received from staff members. If you friend with upper management you are protected.If you Eastern European you will struggle as they don’t like honesty they want you to sugarcoat everything you say. The company not growing in Ireland they always talk about opportunities in new stores but they just never happen. Salary is unfair for both assistant managers and supervisors so as the BOH staff members……

Fun but fast paced

Waitress/Back of House (Former Employee) - Cork, County Cork - 6 May 2022

Pros

Free lunches and discounts

Cons

Long hours, pressure

Great company, bad work environment

Back of house (Former Employee) - Dublin - 20 April 2021

The company was great to work for. The lunches, benefits, time off etc. Were great. The issue was the environment within the restaurant. Full of clique's, mean people who like to pick on new staff and the management is very prone to favouritism. It was emotionally exhausting going to work every day knowing some of my colleagues wouldn't treat me with respect. There was a real problem of older staff constantly making misogynistic or condescending jokes. I recommend working for the company but not this particular restaurant.

Pros

Free food, work-life balance, roster in advance, pay

Cons

Bad work atmosphere

Wonderful environment

Nandoca/ buddy/ supervisor (Current Employee) - Cork academy street - 18 February 2021

Nandos is an amazing environment to work in, the training you get is second to none, the company is very involved in the community ie feeding the homeless , local produce etc staff turn over is minimal , extremely competitive starting pay rate that usually goes up at least once per financial year. Not to mention they are still currently paying staff through the pandemic .. many restaurants closed 90% of the year. All in all amazing workplace .. a second family that has great values.

Pros

Great pay, free lunch, discounts when eating with family, discount card for local shops, they are highly involved in the community

Cons

None

Decent Place to Work For

Floor Staff/ Kitchen Staff (Former Employee) - Liffey Valley Centre, County Dublin - 28 April 2018

Nandos was my first job as a floor staff and I worked there for two years. It is a very interesting place to work for and you do learn a lot. I worked in liffey valley and it can get very busy at times. You might need a car as sometimes it is hard to get home because you will not be able to make the bus. You get for free when you are working and breaks are paid for. Management can be very bad at times but they always pay you on time. Full time is usually between 30-35 hours. I would recommend this company to work for if you are a student, the job can get a little annoying sometimes but I always just did my thing before I went home.

Pros

Free Lunch Allowance, Good Pay, Paid Breaks, Tips (not the best) Holidays and Free uniform

Cons

Long hours horrible breaks (work 8 hours only get 30 minutes) Annoying Repetitive job

Entre as 10 melhores empresas para se trabalhar

Coordenador de Equipe (Former Employee) - Dublin, D - 22 February 2014

E tao facil e agradavel falar sobre o Nandos,pois foi uma das melhores empresa que tive a oprtunidade de trabalhar ou melhor colaborar. Uma empresa que tem como principal objetivo e valores o bem estar do funcionario seja no profissional ou pessoal. Com uma organizacao fantastica dentro do contexto geral (,rh, plano de carreira,bem estar do funcionario) Cada dia no nandos e um dia diferente A melhor parte do nandos e vir trabalhar e saber que vai encontrar um AMIGO e nao apenas um colega da equipe,isto se estende aos funcionarios e gerentes. A parte mais dificil para mim foi aprender a trabalhar em equipe em um espaco pequeno,pois tinha uma experiencia de um trabalho com uma grande equipe. Aprendir a conhecer a me mesmo,,quanto pessoa e profissional. Um dia tipico de trabalho no nandos e simplismente divertido,voce nao ver as horas passar a interacao equipe e clientes e faz com que o seu periodo de trabalho seja agradavel e produtivo.
