Best thing
I like all the different people you meet and that I both do kitchen and bar work it definitely breaks up. I also like the experience and I have met people I would class as friends.
Worst thing
I don't feel like I have been given enough training, I also don't think they have took my disabilities into consideration as much as I feel like they could, I also find it quite a draining and isolated job stuck in the same surroundings.

Best thing
The money & on the occasion the people I work with
Worst thing
the stress of cutting hours all the time which results in me getting more work load amongst others especially the full timers, Under appreciation, untrusting people, not getting the right support when it’s needed, or the right training being forced to learn quick. The people above not noticing how hard we actually work even if we don’t make the sales forecasted! I could go on & on…

Best thing
You can meet some really wonderful people, customers or staff and they really do make or break the job
Worst thing
The place is a joke, the managers don't care about anyone but themselves. they focus on really nitpicky things to take you to investigation for and no matter how much or little you work you are constantly undermined, over worked and ultimately not respected.

Best thing
Never boring, relatively simple job so even when it's busy it's not physically draining. Very social job. Get to do shifts in different pubs which is a nice way to shake things up.
Worst thing
Customers can be very aggressive and unsympathetic to the stresses of the job. When shirt staffed can be rather unpleasant.
