Harvester Careers and Employment

Looked after us during lockdown, fun enough place to work but has its downside with head office set budgets and such. Can be stressful when it’s unexpected rushes

Biggest mistake

When I first got the job I was excited, then on my first day, I got forced into a double shift, first day. Also they claim that Harvester is a good place for a career. It's not. Training is rubbish. You get moaned at by management if you can't pull a beer to the customers satisfaction. Management just sit down while supervisors run the place

Exhausting and emotionally draining

As soon as I came to this company I was told that the hours were flexible and that I’d be on a decent wage I once did a 9am shift and didn’t finish till gone midnight and had NO break due to there being so many covers, the company doesn’t care about the impact it is having on you, the pace is fast, and you’re expected to pick it up straight away with little insight or training. Everything is frozen even the scrambled egg 2 times I worked there I saw a member of staff drop a steak on the floor and slap it back on the grill, and everyone acted like it was normal. I didn’t work here for long and as I was about to leave we went into lockdown I was the. Told I didn’t qualify for furlough, and that point I quit and didn’t go back,I would come home and physically cry because of the pressure of the job and I would not recommend to anyone, the money is rubbish I was on minimum wage and within the first week I picked up 3 shifts.

Just no

The only good thing was the team at the time carried about each other and recall helped each other to survive but managers were discussing how they treat people and disregarding health and safety as well about not actually caring about quality of food or the customs. If you challange that you will be pushed out and people will be asked to write fulse statements against you to remove you which myself had done and I have evidence

Friendly workplace

Made some great friends here. Good work atmosphere good team working. Bad management. No flexibility in hours. Felt unappreciated by certain members of the team
