Good place to work

Supermacs is a good place to work while between things or part time while in education. Pay is minimum and working most weekends. Management can be friendly.

Pros

Free food

Cons

Working every weekend

Horrible place!!!

I don’t know how this place is still in business maybe there’s just not much options in Thurles town because it’s so small. From the cleanliness to the management and to the way the staff and customers are treated is absolutely ridiculous!! I definitely would not recommend this place.

Stressful and disorganised but had good co workers

Overall the job is not worth it . Extremely disorganised in terms of management and frequent miscommunication . Rosters can be last minute. Large workload for the pay . Worked there 2 years with no pay increase.

Pros

Discounted lunches

Cons

Long hours and short notice of rosters at times

Fun people to work for but bad pay

Like all these jobs overworked and underpaid but the shop j was in management and colleagues were the best! You get paid extra for night shift but you worked for every penny! Customers hard to deal with can be very rude

Buen ambiente de trabajo

Tuve mucha suerte y estuve en un Supermac’s de Galway, la verdad es que el ambiente de trabajo era bueno con los compañeros y jefes, si que es cierto que algunos manager no sabían gestionar bien los equipos pero en cuanto a compañeros muy excelente.

Good starter job can be stressful

Overall good starting job for college student etc , weekly pay but unsociable hours for college life. Can be very stressful at busy times as some staff aren’t fully trained. Managers overall supportive and kind all staff welcoming yet there are favourites.

Very high work load and too few staff

I worked at the O'Connell street supermac's which is mostly super busy. Although it was at the height of COVID that I joined, even then I had a really hard time adjusting to the physically demanding work there. At the end of my 8/10 hour shift I was no better that a living corpse. Needed one day of the week just to shake of all the tiredness. Some of my colleagues were really nice and sweet, others not so much.

Not a great work environment.

Poor management leads to a poor working environment. Would not recommend to anyone. You are treated very poorly.You are expected to do whatever and just be grateful for a job

Fun work place

Very fast based environment. Great starter job in customer service. Management can be cocky and unfair when the boss is not around but there's always space for a bit of a laugh. Secure job with availability to progress but must be willing to sacrifice social and home life.

Would not recommend

Plenty of hours available and job security, not ideal if you have a young family, fast paced environment with unsociable hours, good promotion prospects

Pros

As previously mentioned

Cons

Long hours, hard work fast paced

No social life

New/younger employees were given most of the bad jobs such as cleaning the lobby and toilets all day or staying on until finish to clean up often until 1am and you end up working 45+ hours a week after being there for only a few weeks

Pros

Free lunch up to €7

Cons

Everything else

very poor management

Great people, poor management at corporate level. Some people have poor altitude management. They do not include you in their plans and often make them on the spot and expect you to adapt straight away.

Combative management

The job itself is fine, the main trouble makers and sources of tension are management. They constantly antagonise staff when they have nothing better to do and display major incompetence over basic managerial task such as rota management or obtaining supplies. So I'd say this only suitable as a short term entry level job. If you have other options, ignore this workplace.

Fun workplace

The job can be stressful, depending on the shift you are on. Night/Day, a lot of student staff do you can find yourself understaffed a lot with people calling in sick.

Worst company ever

It is what you make of it. Very intelligent seniors managing a national portfolio of restaurants.

Worth it for experience. Very welcoming and happy to share niche marketing knowledge. If you go in ready to learn, you will be taught. There is a proverbial ceiling and a flat hierarchy for promotions, but all in all, a very good opportunity for anyone starting their professional journey.
