  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • I was working in hospitality industry before but after I started to work for Pret I also started to grow professionally. After 9 moths working for Pret I was in training to be leader and since then I also already made huge step up. I can see my skills are improving and I see I am also learning new skill.
