Pros

get into some cool events

Cons

ridiculous working hours. Boss does unimaginable things to the staff members. Pours out-of-date carling into "stein" glasses and then sells them for 10 quid a pop at Oktoberfests. Never pay our expenses leaving me nearly 1000 out of pocket! I could go on..... I will I worked out that I was being paid 2.58 an hour for all of the hours I worked. expected to do 48-hour shifts when needed. zero respect. I wouldn't wish this company on my worst enemy. The staff seem brainwashed into thinking this is acceptable. also when working away at events for sometimes up to 2 weeks straight they decided that expenses should be cut for things like food because "you can eat the food provided by our caterers at the events" if you think someone can work 14 - 16 hours a day for 2 weeks straight eating 1% beef burgers, chips, and candyfloss you're off your head!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about our company. We take the concerns you mention very seriously as we uphold the highest standard for our business. As such, we would encourage you to contact our HR Team: hr@freemanseventpartners.co.uk to address those issues. Whilst we are an event business demanding a lot of our people during peak event season, we do believe in treating team members at all levels fairly – whether they work behind a bar, on a catering outlet or in the office. Our teams work really hard and we always look at ways to support them both on a personal satisfaction level and to develop their career. Our products follow extensive procedures and licensing regulations and we have been holding an AA grade BRCGS certification in storage and distribution for 7 consecutive years. As such everything we serve on site is rigorously checked. As a partner to the biggest venues in the UK, delivering in high pressured environments, we thrive to work with the best people in the business and recognise we wouldn’t be there without our committed teams. Thanks again for your time writing this review.

Pros

Nice people to work with. Long Christmas shut down & treats sometimes provided by the CEO's festival vans. Nice CEO's- although very busy/not that much contact. Family business & you do see them about the office- always friendly. Work is interesting- festivals, sporting events & work with some larger brands

Cons

Highest staff turnover of any business I've ever seen! It seems to be a joke around the business that no one stays long. Could be a great place to work but fails in this area.

Pros

Staff are nice and would do pretty much anything for you. Suits party people and single young people - could go far if you give up everything else.

Cons

Banter is simply bullying, racism, homophobia and sexual harassment/assault. HR do nothing about the issues and try to paper over with free lunch every 2 weeks. Long hours with no chance to take time back. Procedures and policies not followed. Management is the same person cloned several times - no ability to challenge or change. Staff do not have a voice. Will do anything for money.
