I am a student and I was looking to work with a company that allows flexible hours. However the company itself takes advantage of the students desperate need for quick money. On my last shift I had to work 12 hours straight with 1 hour lunch break which they measured for every millisecond and then a week later I got a paycheck for 70£ for the 12 hours of work that I have worked under festival speed and pressure!!!!! Which is mind blowing for a company that likes to advertise themselves as friendly and professional. l complained to payroll since which they replied ina rude manner said sorry and showed no sign to help me in this situation. On that shift I had to sign in everywhere they located me under the name of "easy bar work" I had to work as replenishment and runner and carry really heavy packs of alcohol which I had to do under huge amount of pressure and without no health and safety induction. Which they could also be sued for by the way. The whole company and the work environment is really unorganised and unprofessional and I feel like they should be ashamed to work under conditions like this. Their whole staff and people that work as managers on shifts are highly incapable rude and extremely unprofessional. I would not recommend it to anyone to work here. It is disgusting.

Do yourself a favour and don’t work for this agency. Office staff are extremely rude and always try to rush you off the phone, to a point where I dreaded calling the office as they are very arrogant and unhelpful! Every other week they were underpaying me, or would ask me to confirm my hours otherwise I would not get paid. They don’t upload certain shifts on your profile, for example my friends profile had several shifts available whilst my profile had none, I felt like they only uploaded shifts onto my profile, when they desperately needed people. so there were weeks in which I would not have a single shift. Applying for shifts is a nightmare there were times I would apply for like 4 shifts and they’d decline like 3 and I’d only do one shift. Also there are certain shifts in which they don’t even pay you £7.50 the pay is really bad, and there are events where you might finish late with no transport provided home, and tube station may be closed making the way home so much longer. They have also changed their company name several times which is very confusing and weird.
