Feel Bad Club - Front of House Feel Good Club Employee Review

after hearing them closing and seeing a comment about their glass door reviews exposing who “they really are” i felt compelled to write this, yes things at the venue were not perfect but it was for certain the best hospitality venue i had ever worked at and i know for certain 90% of these reviews came from one particular staff member who left on bad terms and made it their mission to destroy the reputation (heard this first hand) pros were definitely a level of support and understanding from the management and bosses i hadn’t experienced else where, people were regularly allowed extra breaks, be late, call in sick if they were struggling and it was easy to speak to the owners. paid break and staff meals and even took staff on a team break away to thank us for a busy summer and pride weekend. i saw that the owners worked hard to try and make a hospo venue something different to what you usual get, a cog in a machine and i did feel valued.

it wasn’t perfect, staffing was tight at times and it was stretched with long days but i preferred doing that there than in other places where nobody even thanked you when you left.

I started my chef career at Feel Good Club, they motivated me to improve and pushed me do better. I worked with the best head chef and the manager was very responsive to my concerns and needs as an employee. They always tried to make it as friendliest as possible while maintaining a healthy and professional boundaries. Even though I no longer work there and branched out, that place well always be one of the best places I have worked at, and I work in a lot of restaurants as a freelance chef who has experienced so many different environments yet I could say FGC is my favourite and special place to me and that could not have happened without the existence of the staff and everyone that made it to be that way.

I don’t have specific cons to mention or at all, I’m sure there are always pros and cons but nothing come to mind that I could mention because the Pros were prevalent and the issues that I faced were always communicated with the team and sorted.
