Hamilton Mayday Employee Reviews

It's a very helpful agency, it responds extremely quick, the consultants based in London are nice, the only disadvantage is that have to adapt to multicultural staff and a variety of backgrounds that don't have much in common with hospitality industry while being paid the same and no career perspectives or expectations determine professional people leave or collaborating part time only.

Pros

+40 hours per week if requested, permanent contact with the recruitment consultant, amazing places to work in

Cons

Personal hygiene and manners met may fall below the expectations, Often duties and responsibilities are overtaken

Worked as an agency member, manager was lovely and kind. Pay was pretty good. However sometimes a hassle to get to locations as some shifts would be far.

[hospitality assistant] (Former Employee) - Brighton - 5 December 2022

Worked for a short time, was good and had good selection of work which fitted around my university schedule. Nothing too special, you just go there and do your job. You meet some great people working there too, that's what makes the shift fun

Perfect for part timers

Plate Waiter (Former Employee) - London - 20 July 2020

Definitely if you're looking for part time job on the long term. You can pick your shifts and which places to apply. Pay varies depending on which shifts you pick. The jobs vary within the catering and hospitality industry, so you'll need to be very fast paced and thick skinned to get through.

Pros

Experience different areas, lots of people to meet, very physical

Cons

No paid travel, difficult to get in contact with recruitment manager, no training

Waiter/Bar Staff (Current Employee) - london - 14 December 2017

They are an agency that has a host of clients ranging from sporting venues to silver service to Bar staff work. the client they have are all very nice places to work that all pay above the minimum. this agency is flexible and don't force you to work if you have said you cannot. the hardest part of the job is having to state witch days you would like to work, and they will show you the shifts available and then all you have to do is say yes. the most enjoyable part of the job is the people you meet, this agency has really nice and fun people to work with. this company is very easy to interface with. the managers that give you the jobs are also very nice and will check up on you to make sure that you are working in a safe and enjoyably environment.

Pros

flexable working hours.

Cons
