• Access 40% of your wage earned before payday
• Have your birthday and your child’s first day of school off on Mowgli
• Getting a puppy? Welcome them properly to their new home and enjoy a flexible working week while they settle in!
• The chance to go on life changing trips all over the world
• Guaranteed Christmas Eve evening, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day off
• 50% off food when you visit with family and friends and enjoy free meals on shift
