• Best thing

  Friendly Team

  Worst thing

  Rampant Favouritism.
  No Proper Breaks.
  Over worked, Little pay.
  Expected to do more with little incentive.
  Holidays aren't always put on as holiday, just a day where you don't have a shift.
  Head Office wants a skeleton crew, causing busy nights with not enough staff.
  People who want more hours aren't getting them.

  Bar staff at Harvester, May 2023

• Best thing

  There are a few people who are nice and can work well with.

  Worst thing

  Management don’t know how to run things properly, one of the managers do the bare minimum to help and only think about himself.
  Customers can be really rude.
  On a busy night food always takes long so customers are impatient and takes away your chance of tip.
  One manager in particular can’t do their job properly, makes the shift feel like hell and drag on for ever and then moment a breather from all the stress, he will be on top of you asking you why, yet he sits most of the day.
