Flexible

Safety Steward (Former Employee) - Manchester, Greater Manchester - 14 October 2019

flexible work when you need it with competitive pay, however, there was often a lot of waiting around which suggests the organisation wasn't the best.

Pros

free lunch, flexibility

lots of waiting around

Worst company I ever worked for

Door Supervisor (Former Employee) - Varied - 28 August 2019

Bad communication Disorganized Cancellation of shifts over the sudden without notification Do not pay for extra time No respect and devalue their staff They end contract without notification Never stick to their promises Never replies to messages, emails or calls They pay to late every 15th of the month and if you even worked before that they try to delay the latest shifts until the 15th of the 2nd month which literally takes 2 months to pay. simply they try to play with the wording and the system to delay payment which is so frustrating. They want you to travel so far and do not pay fuel, parking and no free transport too. I do not really recommend this bad company to anyone so keep away of such subcontractors who only look for money and have no respect for staff

Pros

NONE at all

Cons

All in all is bad
