Cons

Constantly needed to work more hours Say goodbye to your weekends Very long days, without breaks Management incompetence

Advice to Management

Each business is under Mitchell and Butlers and although you look at each business as a singular business and on its own. Certain businesses, especially businesses in rural areas are seasonal. The trade changes dramatically week to week and the staff needed changes dramatically week to week. But people cannot live on a low number of hours, so they need stability. But people are not committed enough to work crazy hours...

Pros

Well supported, clear progression plan, honest leadership. Great perks and a fantastic company culture, you get out what you put in.

Cons

Slow processes when implementing change due to large scale nature of company, this can make it difficult to react to industry trends. Frontline staff hours cut at quiet times makes people feel dispensable.

Advice to Management

Continue to foster a supportive culture, build on training and learning journey. Offer more honesty with hourly retail contracts as income is unreliable. Increase pay for frontline staff in line with living wage society. Offer more protection to low income employees.

Pros

Great salary, great opportunities

Cons

Like all hospitality jobs not a lot of free time

Pros

Discount, easy to have holidays depending on your managers

Cons

Wages, not much tips,
