I have an assessment day for a new store opening soon has anyone been to one of these? What 'activities' are there?

Question; How many people work in a greggs store? I can't imagine it being that many as they are quite small.

....In my shop I have Manager, Assistant Manager, 3 Senior Sales and 12 Team Members. In the busiest shops, you could be looking at anything up to 30 Team Members.

12 team members :O . In my shop we have 1 Manger , 1 Ast Manger , 1 Senior sales , 6 team members (4 part time and 2 weekend), and we are the busiest in the town and take the most money. Most of the staff work there contract hours too (apart from senior sales whos doing 25-30). how can you have 12 team members let alone 30 :0. Must be different in the different regions lol

I have more staff as our shop trades 8am-8pm. I don't know of any shops with 30 TMs but there's certainly a couple of Glasgow shops that have 20+ team members but there are shops in the North East that take a lot more money than these, so in theory would have more TMs. Which region are you in?

Treforest Bakery, South west , we are a 'concept' shop, dont know what the difference is because all of the shops in out town are concept, but hey ho. We open 7am-5pm. Usually 180hours between everyone, and in my view the shop takes loads but then i haven't worked out of the region. And does your 'social club' actually do anything? we get charged 25p a week and have and nothing out of it!.

I've attached pics of new concept and non-new concept. New concept shops have dark wood floors rather than tiling, is more "help yourself" and generally (but not always) have a seating area. We get 280 hours, but a shop trading the same hours as you gets 240 for the same sales as ours. If you knew how much your shop takes then I could compare to our region (but obv don't post publicly as that will break company policy ) Our social club pays out a small amount towards a staff night at Christmas and also organises a staff dance in March time and pays for that. If we want to take partners they charge £25 per head so they must spend a reasonable amount on it. I wonder if we get a cut of the unused Treforest money up here in Scotland?

Hello can u please gimme some answers for this question

What are your future aims / goals / career aspirations?
thanks...

Hey could someone please advise me on what to wear for the Greggs interview. This would be my first proper face to face work interview and would really appreciate some tips. Should I wear trouser and shirt or would jeans be suitable?
Thanks again!

Hey, just wondering if anyone has been transferred before, at the moment I work as a team member at a Greggs thats a 30 min bus ride and 15 min walk and want to be transfer to a Greggs much closer and as a senior team member, I'm just a bit afraid to suggest it to my manager in case he doesn't like it, has anyone got any adivce for me?

Thanks in advance!

I got a greggs interview next week, but I'm unsure of something. They sent me an email saying 'It is also very important that you bring along full EMAIL contact details, including addresses, of two referees, one of which should be your current/last employer. ' I have never been employed before so what should I do? And both my references are from school teachers and therefore I've got the school addresses, and my interview takes place after the school breaks up for summer holidays. I've obviously left the school now. Please help someone
