The management can be toxic. Everything must be to their liking and your input is 'considered' but never accepted. If the managers do not like you, your life is hard at work. But, the overall staffing here is friendly. The benefits for travel is good and work-life balance is good.

Good place to kick off your career in hospitality

Chef de Partie (Former Employee) - Bristol - 17 January 2022

Fast paced kitchen with functions and conference lunches. Worked 55+ hours, work-life balance is not the best. Salary is not reflecting the amount of work you put in

Pros

good place to start your career in the kitchen

Cons

long hours

Not what I expected

Assistant Chef (Former Employee) - Gainsborough - 11 January 2022

When I first got there I was given the bare minimum training by the other Chefs.I tried to ask questions on how to do certain tasks and they either ignored, scoffed, or argued with me.Most of the Chefs were pretty ignorant and you could tell they didn't want to be there. Overall, it was a pretty draining atmosphere, especially with the long hours. My job was to be an Assistant Chef as I was a Rookie at the time. However, what they didn't mention to me before I started the job was that I would be managing a whole pastry section by myself. Without much help or supervision. And they dared to say I was being "too slow". Although things were pre-bought and didn't require much effort due to Covid. Even then it was a bit much.The only slightly redeeming thing about the place was the most of serving staff, the Head Chef and the KPs.I worked there for 3 months until many issues arose such as the travelling distance became an issue. And speaking of travel distance, I had to commute the longest distance to the place out of all the Chefs and they made little to no effort to let me leave early until 2 months in. Very inconsiderate.

Pros

Nice Serving Staff, Helpful KP's, Decent Pay, Friendly Head Chef

Cons

Unreasonable Chefs, Long hours, Barely any time to take a break, Not cooking, just dishing out pre-prepared food, The ticket Machine in the Pastry section is the worst to deal with, especially when it's rush hour.

Kitchen Porter (Former Employee) - Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire - 10 January 2022

Very needy staff, expect too much from the staff with very little in return, grumpy and miserable chefs that speak to you and treat you like your a piece of ****

Pros

Dinner was provided

Cons

Long hours, no appraisal or thanks for what ever you do

Poor management, no staff rewards, service charge not paid to employees

Mixologist (Former Employee) - Kingston upon Hull - 18 December 2021

Highly dysfunctional management, the HR department seems completely clueless and does not act on poor behaviour from colleagues. I was never paid the service charge (tips) nor the incentive they have when your name is mentioned on reviews. I would not recommend working here at all.

Pros

Sometimes you get fed.

Cons

Poor management, you do not feel secure in your job, toxic work environment.

Relaxed meeting hotel

Bar Assistant (Former Employee) - Thame - 10 November 2021

Working there as bar assistant I learn a loots, you have the power to decides and how to deal with day to day upcoming. Management were ok at that time. Funny colleagues always having a laugh even in peak times. And I hated that gray shirt uniform that makes you look like a clown.

Pros

Fast paced, little work life balance

If you would like to progress then any Hilton brand is a good place. But due to the current climate there is a lot of staff shortages, meaning you are required to work long hours.

Pros

Free lunches, uniform dry cleaned

Cons

No work life balance

boring and no staff

Lovely hotel let down by bad managers. Never enough staff. the staff they do get they don't train properly. High turnover of staff, probably because they don't pay very well.

free parking

Cons

No food

8 hours work shift with 30 mins unpaid lunch. Lunch is provided for free. front desk management is terrible both night and day. work place culture is ok. they through you in the deep end with not much training provided. you can do 10 shifts in a row then 4days off, or 6 days then one day off. the is not 9-5 work week. you will be working on all days of the week. people never stay there for long. Turn over of staff is crazy as about 11 left during my months working there.

Pros

free lunch and dinner

Cons

only half hour unpaid lunch break.

Absolutely depressing

Receptionist/Administrator (Former Employee) - Woking - 14 June 2021

I felt absolutely gutted and disappointed by their poor management, from line manager to HR, The work environment is stressful with no appreciation ever. They lacked staff because all the good people would leave. It was an absolute nightmare working for such incompetent people.

Cons

Exploitation, only one person on shift, no lunch/dinner break. You can’t find time to go to the loo either.

Avoid

Spa Therapist (Former Employee) - Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire - 7 June 2021

Please don’t apply for this job the attitude you get from manager and workers in the spa. The manager will literally tell you to leave whenever. She will also say to you that she will help you to develop but she doesn’t. they also complain about everything. You are not aloud to talk to the client if you do you will get pulled up how she find out is that she’ll put her ear on the door of your treatment room. along with that if you do something wrong the girls will laugh at you especially when you’ve just came out of training and still learning and apparently if you don’t wear uniform or don’t have notes with you or if your notes are written in big descriptions then you will get sent home or the manager will go mental. They took my badge and uniform off me. They certainly don’t know how to treat their staff it’s the worst spa to work in. the manager also said so much cruel stuff to me when telling me to leave.

Toxic atmosphere

Spa Therapist (Former Employee) - Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire - 20 April 2021

No opportunity for training or progression from spa therapist to a supervisor's position or above. Staff who hold these positions are unprofessional and have their favourites. Rota is provided at very short notice and you are expected to accept it. Clients get 50 minute treatment, with a10 minute turn around - too short! 30 minutes lunch, followed by 20 minutes of cleaning duties designated by staff manager. You see 7 clients per shift and go home exhausted

Pros

Great discounts for hotels but they dont set it up for you to get this benefit

Cons

Rife with gossip and unprofessional management

Pros

Nothing

boring, poorly run, shocking salary
