Pros

Some nice colleagues and customers.

Cons

Refuse to pay people for the hours they work meaning they actually pay well below minimum wage. Run by complete control artists.

Great team let down by poor senior management

Assistant manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Amazing team of staff to work with

Cons

Unrealistic expectations of senior management making job unduly stressful and making it near impossible for team to deliver best possible service to guests. Under COVID, requested to join Webinar at 1 hour notice only to be made redundant along with 1908 others with no payment of notice, no redundancy or holiday pay. Then, continually contacted for 6 weeks for information by Insolvency company despite the fact that 1) I was no longer employed and 2) the remainder of the company now trades under another name!!! Appalling.
