Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Name The Worst Companies To Work For In Nigeria And Give Your Reasons by IkennaOkongwu: 8:39pm On Oct 08, 2022
Chicken Republic
Pie Express
Chop Box
In fact, all Food Concepts PLC companies.

By the time they're done with you, it's already late.

1. They Pay graduates peanuts.(Workload isn't commensurate with Salary.... They're ripping off graduates)
2. Harsh working Conditions.
3. You work 6days in a week with no public holidays.
4. You're not permitted to eat the Restaurant's food( be it wastes or any sort as youd be dismissed instantly)
5. You must develop high blood pressure as you need to explain daily and monthly the decline in sales.
6.14working days leave.
7. High service within the Managers (Area/Regional)

Any of the Managements seeing this, you know i ain't lying.

Shitty Organisation you have there.

Work on your Employees renumeration... Your LTO is bad.

You're happy you want to join a 43/54k salary organisation?

Screenshot this conversation.

If you have a current job, do not leave it for FC.

You'll always regret it.

No job security, very poor condition of Service, heavy politics

No sir, I disagree with you, I work with chicken republic as a trainee manager, though the work is stressful but I am happy working there.
I don't think they dismiss any body without reasons. they don't outrightly dismiss people there's a process.
Poor staff walfare? not true chicken republic is the best quick service restaurant to work with in Nigeria, quote me anywhere.
You work as a trainee manager...

How many months have you worked with them?

My little advice...

If you already have a Job, do not leave it for Food Concepts PLC.

Why they recruit every now and then,
alot of people keep leaving there as they are notoriously known for poor staff warefare.

Forget those smiles you see on the faces of their workers, they are not happy working there.

You could also get dismissed anyday for reasons beyond your control.

I just Saw what you wrote about tax remittance! Are you not a little busybody! Who do you think you’re talking to? Do you work for the tax office? Have you paid your taxes? Please put a copy of your tax card here so we can check! Stop trying so hard to seek relevance by trying to pull others down. Even the employees of these organizations won’t thank you. When you interfere so much and get them fired, you’ll tuck your tail in between your legs and move to look for other lives to destroy while they suffer. Go and register a legitimate business and do something useful with your life.

Don't worry, this thread will be updated with informations as we uncover more.

We'll also protect every employee who has shared good informations with us.

Their names or the outlet they work for won't be mentioned.

Stop hiding Behind a nameless and faceless site to try and pull others down!!! Are you an employer of labor in Nigeria? If you are, you’ll understand that any graduate who accepts that kind of job is just passing time until their dream job comes. They have a lackadaisical attitude and let you know they are only doing this out of necessity. The graduates are actually better than those who stopped at secondary school for one reason or the other. Those ones act like you have to give them a tip bigger than their attitude. I hate to hear the question “anything for the boys?’ A security man does the job he is paid for, and asks the question. A lady serves you while having a conversation with another person. The conversation is too interesting to take a pause and do her job, but still expects a tip. If you’re a guy, she focuses on you with her widest beam, hoping you’ll give her your card. The guys that work in these places are sometimes gigolos. They don’t do anything to improve themselves, but complain about their employers, the customers that are not giving them large enough tips, the men that are stingy.... I agree it is not all of them that are so unfocused. Once in a while, I come across a decent hardworking person and I usually compliment them on this especially in front of their employers. So, stop trying to badmouth this establishment. You sound like a disgruntled former employee of theirs.

28k in our present day can barely feed a 5year old girl for a month.

What kind of life do you even wish for your employees?

Like i said earlier, i just hope your tax remittances are intact and your organisation is in conformity with the new minimum wage when we show up.

I just hope.

That's a very big lie

Are you ashamed of what you pay your employees?

Be proud!

Let people know you pay less than 28k net

I don't think anyone is forced to continue working with the company. If the pay is below a person's standard, he/she is free to quit.
It becomes slavery when the freewill to quit or stay is taken.
Note: Before agreeing to the employment, workers are detailed on payment and their job description.
So, why complain about something you agreed to do?
Why complain about a job you are free to quit whenever you wish?

You don't just take a job offer with the intention that you will manipulate and blackmail the company into paying more than the agreed amount.

Once again, if the pay doesn't fit your big status, quit.
You are not forced to stay.


Employees are the greatest assets of any Organisation.

You treat them badly, they treat your business bad.

My point is, fix your internal problems.

Do not take advantage of people and say they have the freewill to quit.


You keep posting Job vacancies everyweek.

Your LTO is very poor

This is very wrong.

One of your workers even quoted some of your stores making up to N1.5m/day

Anyway, once plans are concluded with the NLC, we're paying you a visit.

I'm hoping when we do, we don't find your organisation wanting for tax evasion or not complying with the current minimum wage?

If you cant pay your workers, you'll definitely pay the FG

Even if, how is it bad to outsource food for staffs, inorder to prevent them from exhausting the limited food meant for sales and running of the company?
You can go ahead and post wrong pictures of poor foods, falsified to be food given to staffs.
It is obvious you are just after ruining the reputation of a good establishment, and you will fail.
Mind you, the outsourcing of food doesnt even happen in all branches.
Only branches with very low return.

A good establishment that pays people below the minimum wage?

Come on man, this is inhumane.

If you see nothing wrong with this, then you ain't different from the devil himself.

Have you taken time to ask them if they're really happy with their job or how they cope with 28k a month?

THIEF! How much should they pay you after feeding you for free everyday

You definitely work with them...

Do not worry, we have pictures of what you call the free foods.

Even animals are not fed that.

Your staff aren't allowed to eat the restaurant's meal.
You rather contract to roadside food vendors who in return underportion or cook meals not suitable for even dogs.

Prove me wrong!

We have our evidences as some of your staff have been helpful with informations.

Hmm I never told you it was easy Sir.

I'm only correcting you on the salary side.

I asked a simple question madam...
Stop beating around the bush.

Is the 30k salary net or gross?

Just a simple question and you're stressing us

Madam i know what it takes to work in a restaurant.

Weather they are they the least on their pay scale, Restaurant business isn't easy.

Last time i check, our minimum wage has been increased. Why do Food Concepts Plc still pay 28k?

It may interest you to know, we're gathering information.

Once we're done, we definitely will come for your organisation with our Labour and Employment lawyers.

It works. Some even get promoted before one year. It's all about hardwork and dedication.

This is false...

We interviewed some people here in Abuja lastweek.
They have been working for over 3years.

Same position 28k salary.

Only a delusional person would pay 28k and expect people to be dedicated in discharging their duties.

They're monthly salaries.

You evade my question about the 30k salary being net or Gross.

Apparently, you seem to know more about this.

If you're part of these injustices, you better call your people to order.

My team in PHC interviewed some staff today.
Same story line, more revelations.

And Ikenna is one of their OP managers in Lagos, hope you're not him.

You're right on every thing you said apart from the salary. 27k is paid to floor staff, like the Cooks, the cashiers, the Host, the fryers etc. All depending on the store you're working in, a store that makes up to 1.5 million daily, their floor staff are paid 32k which is higher than a store that makes less than that.

There are shift managers, assistant managers and main restaurant manager.

Shift managers are paid 60k for stores that make 800k and above daily, while those make below are paid 55k.

Assistant managers are paid 90k for those that make 1 million and above daily, while those that make below are paid 85k.

Then RMs I think they're paid 120 or something of sort. Then there are Area managers who are paid higher than RMs.

That is just how it works, if one can endure and work diligently, you get promoted, and get higher salaries.

Alot of the staffs(in white and red) we've interviewed mentioned this name.

It's obvious you know about this organisation.

These figures you quoted are they net or gross pay?
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Why Employees don't last at FOOD CONCEPTS Plc(owners Of Chicken Republic) by IkennaOkongwu: 10:51am On Nov 06, 2020

Those paying below the minimum wage because I'll be having a meeting with some lawyers and NLC officials here in Abuja.

An anonymous whistle blowing platform will be lunched too.

I have been running a covert investigation on this organisation since i touched down Nigeria.

I have interviewed with many of its workers in different states and outlets.

It's no news that this organisation exploits our flooded market with Graduates and dysfunctional labour policies.

No Job security as staffs are fired anyhow and thus, explains why they recruit everyday.

Do not fall for their antics. They use and dump.

No Adequate staff warefare - People are being paid 27-28k Every month to work 6days in a week, in a non conducive environment, No public Holidays? why are we just being wicked as a nation?

Food Concepts Plc rakes in billions for investors every year yet their staffs are least paid.

It may interest you that Behind those fake " Nice - Nice gestures " are very unhappy workers willing to leave. If you doubt, walk into any of their outlets and ask anyone willing to talk if they're happy working there.

We will be updating this thread as we uncover more informations
