Best thing
You get massive discount on food and drink. The customers are alright (the ones you get a bond with)
Worst thing
Rotas are up 1 week in advance, they stretch the staff to the point half of them are on the sick and the ones thats working are expected to work 2 departments a night. your over worked and under paid. You have NO contact with HR dont get a phone number or anything, if you are lucky enough to get some contact with them they just push you away. During covid the company done nothing to check on staff. no return to works done or anything. no training your just shoved somewhere and expected to know what your doing. no organisation and no empathy for the workers

Best thing
The staff are extremely hard working and work well as a team. They were very welcoming when I was new and super supportive
Worst thing
Sometimes we have to shift around where we are working and sometimes customers can be rude but it's the same anywhere. Overall a really enjoyable job

Best thing
honestly the customers, you meet every type of person a range of ages and the regulars all keep us happy with their company
Worst thing
the clean ups everywhere (but that’s just general hygiene), staying late? and having to do multiple jobs at once being in 5 different places at the same time it’s physically impossible

Best thing
Getting to know customers
In general, an easy job as a team member
Team and managers are like a family
You can learn multiple departments
Easy to swap shifts (depending on your club and who you work with)Worst thing
Long hours - multiple times I have worked 8am-12am with a 1.5 hour break in the middle
No set days off
Rota can change at last minute
Don’t always get the legal amount of rest time (11 hours) between work days - again multiple times I have finished work at midnight and been back at work at 8/9am
High employee turnover which can lead to staff shortages
Hard to make any progress outside of your club e.g learning to become a managerBuzz Bingo Employee, February 2022
