Waitress (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 25 July 2022

I enjoyed the jobs I took and working directly with clients. But the managers were very rude, which made the job bad. You were never valued for the work you did.

Pros

Flexibility in working time

Cons

Heavy work and bad behavior of people to work

barely any shifts

Waitress (Current Employee) - Bow Street - 22 July 2022

They barely offer any shifts to you and when they do they cancel which is a huge inconvenience as people may have turned down things to be at work. The pay is fair if your around 16-20.

Pros

none

Cons

barely shifts

Staff moral's is poor

Housekeeping (Former Employee) - Leicester Square, Greater London - 14 June 2022

calibre listens to the company they're providing staff to rather than listening to the staff members working for calibre. overall bad company. The pay is good. They take negative feedback from hotel without any further investigation.

Nothing to do if you’re under 16

Catering staff (Former Employee) - London - 8 July 2021

Working with Calibre international as an under 18 year old has barely any benefits. There are little to no jobs available for you to do and the lack of consistency almost makes it seem like you don’t even have a job, it’s easy to get in, easy to set up and even easier to attend but the lack of jobs makes it almost a waste of time to sign with them.

Cons

Barely any work

stresfull

Catering, receptionist, housekeeping (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 23 January 2020

Is not the best agency to work for. First think is they are not protect you at all in front of the hotel managers, you will have the bad surprise to get on time to your job, but the hotel can send you home with no payment at all. Every months happen at least 5 times.

Pros

free dinners

Cons

bad organized

Disaster

Waiter (Former Employee) - Embankment Station - 16 November 2019

Management in the Calibre international it’s not professional at all. Once they declined my booking out of nowhere, when I went there and asked them for a reason they said that was a someone else mistake(?) I called them in the morning 2h before my shift supposed to start (emergency call supposed to be 1,5 before your shift) so as I said I did that and they complained and kick me out. They blocked me on the app, I cannot contact them. I just want to add that the main boss in the hotel liked me and was very happy with me working there. I always did my work well without any problems. I can say that I was hard worker. If yo looking for agency in the London do not go there these people will just treat you as a trust.
