  • 9. Would you recommend Greene King to a friend?
  • No


  • 9b. Why?
  • Work life balance isn’t great. Part of parcel in hospitality but haven’t previously worked for someone where my work life balance and relationships have suffered as much as they have in Greene King. I also feel as good as the apprenticeships are. More could be done to motivate and reward staff and recognise them.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Greene King?
  • There are good progression opportunities but have realistic conversations about work and life balance and well being
