Gather & Gather Employee Reviews for Catering Assistant

Poorly managed, wages were never correct, management blamed payroll when they are infact at fault! Can't speak to them about anything on the defence all the time.

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Poor pay

Terrible company, don't even bother with them

Catering Assistant (Former Employee) - Gloucester - 10 July 2022

Don't waste your time with this company, they don't care about you whatsoever, I worked just about every minute I could have done including unsociable hours, never allowed to eat, lucky if I could sneak a smoke break though I'd normally have to make an excuse like taking the rubbish out, also having half an hour pay docked everyday for the break I never got, good luck if you want a job here

Pros

Nice customers

Cons

Everything else

Fast-paced environment

Catering Assistant (Current Employee) - Oxford, Oxfordshire - 17 February 2020

It is a deli centralised at the university, thus rapid execution of tasks must be handled accordingly to customer demands and restock updated every hour.

Horrible place

Catering Assistant (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 2 August 2018

Disgusting place, I don’t think I’ve ever been in a place as selfish as this one. I had many confrontations with some managers that were trying to be too smart and because of that they tried t dismantle me in any aspect as a human being. They should make us all a favor and close down the place.

Pros

None

Cons

Everything

The right company to work for

Catering Assistant (Current Employee) - Leeds, West Yorkshire - 29 September 2017

Our typical day is a fun, so tiring as satisfactory 8 hours shift. I learnt about Health&Safety rules and a full, free training is been provided to all of us since the first moment, from the line manager, who is fantastically ready to answer and help us in any situation.

Pros

Free Lunches

Cons

Very early shift in the morning

Fun work place

Catering Assistant (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 17 January 2017

At work there are friendly people, I learned by improving my catering skills as this is part of my job and daily life style. I learned new recipe skills and have improved them by constantly practising and not to dissapoint the customers that I am serving. I even like to time my self to see how well I can do and not waste customers time as it is my responsibility to follow my job roles and responsibilities. The most enjoyable part about working is that catering everyday with foods and drinks there is always new foods and drinks to make from scratch.

Pros

Friendly people

Cons

Long hours

Awful work place

Barista/Catering Assistant (Former Employee) - Edinburgh, Midlothian - 19 December 2016

Not long since I left this job and it was probably the best thing I've ever done. Management have no clue what they're doing. Worst manager I've ever had, forgets everything and also treats some employees different to others. I'd advise people to look somewhere else because it's not worth working here.
