    3.7

    Stonegate Pubs Bar staff, December 2023

  • Best thing

    The managers of the pub try to give me the shifts I have requested and the hours.

    Worst thing

    Kitchen management is abusive, doesn’t fully follow the healthy and safety guidance, demands unrealistic targets that he is not willing to accept himself. Management wise they try their best but clearly the pub is understaffed and there is so much they can do due to the company policies.

    Stonegate Pubs Bar staff, August 2023

  • Best thing

    Social, hours fit around being a student, employee discount at all stonegate venues and jump the queues into clubs.

    Worst thing

    Can get extremely busy, work entire shifts (8hrs+) with no break as there’s no time to stop, anti-social hours if full time and have other commitments ie family (work into the early hours of the morning), high stress, high pace.

    6.0

    Stonegate Pubs Front of house staff, August 2023

  • Best thing

    The team I work with, my manager, and the regular customers.

    Worst thing

    People working above the pub, i.e head office, don't seem to understand things like how much labour we actually need, how badly we need a refurb, and other things like that. It feels like they're quite out of touch with what it is actually like to work in/run a pub.

    The Staff

    Worst thing

    Being on feet all day

    9.1

    Stonegate Pubs Bar staff, July 2023

  • Best thing

    The people I work with and some of our regulars.

    Worst thing

    Being understaffed forces you to work too hard and pushes you to exhaustion. Management takes the customers side on everything which makes you look stupid. Just no respect or understanding of how difficult it is to work every Saturday night for a year. And if you take off a Saturday management don’t replace you they just leave the team with another person down.

    2.3

    Stonegate Pubs Bar staff, July 2023

  • Best thing

    some of the staff and friends i've made

    Worst thing

    bad scheduling, stressful environment, not being respected by other staff

    1.4

    Stonegate Pubs Team leader, July 2023

  • Best thing

    Flexible hours, easy to work there. Not too strict and a chill work atmosphere. Nice locals, always got good beer. Regular staff parties with tabs.

    Worst thing

    Has a large garden which is down a hill, hot and sweaty in summer especially when it’s busy.
    You need to pay for staff meals but it’s very cheap.
