  • 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

    9.0

    Buzz Bingo Employee, April 2022

  • 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 manager
