absolutely nothing, the worst company your could ever work for. your simple health and safety rights are breached, let alone your are never paid for the hours you actually do. hours are cut from your pay without reason and when you bring it to attention you are told you' ll be paid for next pay but the same thing happen over and over .
staff are seen as animals and are used and abused by management. no prospect to progress as you need to know management or offer yourself to them sexually in order to be promoted. good simple hard work definitely does not pay of !
change your organisational traits, otherwise one day soon it' ll catch up with you in the news and papers .
low payments on all level bully managers people there, turn blind eyes over unacceptable treatment towards staff more than breathing air. incompatible people with atrocious behavior in general manager position profit over people always
senior management fill your head with lies and dreams, ask & expect you to jump through hoops with promises of pay rises and promotions then do not deliver when promised. awful hr - refuse to deal with hr complaint and encourage you to be quiet and just transfer sites. one of the area sales managers has had more than 8 hr complaints and it has just be brushed under the carpet. started full of life, committed, happy to put in all the extra hours and now i am just disheartened and drained .
stop selling dreams, pushing people out to cover yourselves, oh and walking into venues spreading your employees private business. this is a business not a school !
this will replace the current featured review for targeted profile. are you sure you want to replace it ?

alot is expected from you. difficult company to work for as there is constant pressure. not alot of job security but knowledge gained and good experience
me han tratado estupendamente todos los años que estuve con ellos. me dieron la oportunidad de ascender desde limpia platos a ayudante de cocina y me enseñaron una profesion. luego me dieron la oportunidad de seguir ascendiendo y moviéndose por distintos restaurantes de la compañía, por el único echo de seguir aprendiendo
lovely company to work for - you can learn a lot! you will meet lot of people and make new friends - very easy to move on to a different company as you get experience in lot of different sectors .
the job role in it self was a great one. i not only got to work there was a lot of play involved. i was one of the lucky ones to stay in the role for as long as i did. a lot of people did not last in the role for longer than a few weeks. its very demanding and needs someone who can handle that type of pressure .
productive and fun workplace, each day is different. more emphasis could be put into training. working environment could be worked on. diverse individuals and diverse events to indulge in .
my work day varied as the beginning of the week i would deal with more sales part of the business, where i would have to review my weekly shows, i would usually work a month in advance. i would look to see if there was any way to up sell my clients to a 3 course meal and maybe a private area in the club after their show and meal. draw up seating plan for the upcoming show and liase with chef regarding any food pre orders. generally making sure everything was prepared for the weekend coming. on the weekends i would be overseeing at least 20 staff to ensure the bar was stocked and all bar tenders and waiters / waitress were positive and productive to drive sales and ensure repeat busines. make sure all my comedians were on time and my show would run smoothly and efficiently. deal with any mix ups or customer complaints on the night. this is something i was very good at as customer satisfaction was so important to me and also ensuring we delivered what the sales team had promised. cashing up at the end of each shift and closing down tills. drawing up the profits in table to forward to the gm. i would basically be the 1st point of contact and the last. i enjoyed my job, it was very hands on and every day was different. we really like on little family and all had the same motive which was to make money .
the shifts are mainly organised during the weekends, and they are looong. christmas period is the crazy one, where you possibly will work 6 or 7 days a week. it' s good to work in such a job if you' re a student, but i don' t think you can make a living from it of what they' re paying to bar support and bartenders. some of the management is ok, but gm' s are mostly very rude and has no interest in their staff (just my own experience). hardest thing when you' re working as a bartender is the cleaning process after a 12 / 14 hours shift on a sunday morning. sometimes you can' t even stand on your feet anymore and you still have to do this. if there is a great team working with you by the bar, you make really good memories, because the surrounding itself is fun and entertaining .
• maximise advanced sales, encompassing all aspects of corporate and pre - booked sales (i. e. corporate events, guest lists, booth bookings and all reservations). reactive and proactive selling. • work to pre - determined targets for advanced sales as set by the venue sales manager, maximising all opportunities to achieve these • manage the sales executive, ensuring their weekly working diary is arranged each week for the following. • continually build and validate a database of contacts with key employers, organisations and private customers. (crm trained). • ensure smooth delivery of key events from concept to execution. • plan effectively for successful delivery of the crucial christmas and new year’s eve business targets • be creative, resourceful and provide feedback to other areas of the business such as commercial and operational .
my day mainly consisted of a lot of calls and meetings with clients to discuss their event requirements. i have learned never to assume anything. i always got on with everyone that i have worked with, management and co - workers. the hardest part of the job were the cold calls which i am not looking to make again. the most enjoyable part of the job was meeting and organising my client' s events .
long and late hours in a very busy bar good team ethic management sometimes a little wayward .
i am in charge of all the advanced sales and events management in my venue. i manage a team of 3, everyone has their tasks and works to increase the venue performance in advanced sales and develop existing and new business relationships. i have a great relationship with all of my colleagues and superiors. great team spirit. proactive sales are very challenging but nothing that you can' t do with a great team. the part of the job that i like the most is dealing with corporate clients and organizing big events .
while here i gained extensive knowledge of peaks and troughs, current and past trends within the hospitality and events sector. a typical day at work would be contacting previous customers or clients to encourage them to return and inform them of any upcoming events. the hardest part of the job would be the long hours but even they weren' t unmanageable. the most enjoyable part of the job would be my colleagues.
