Stressful and bad managements

I had suffered from stress and discouragement at this company. I simply wasted a year and a half with them and benefited nothing at all. They pay the minimum with no benefits. The managements are far worse than you’d imagine. The amount of responsibilities you asked to do are not worth the money and time you waste in return. I do not recommend anyone to work for them.

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Long hours and no appreciation in return

Top events with Top quality people!

Splendid provides staff for upscale events in and around London! Very good training given, Staff and management are lovely and always happy to help! Great opportunities for progression and very supportive through this process! The amount of celebrity performances I have seen whilst at work is mad, for example I once got paid to serve dinner and was then allowed to watch an entire Paloma Faith set from the wings! I went from having hardly ever worked in events before to running my own team of waiters in just 2 months! Entirely flexible, You choose when you want to work! Shifts can range from anywhere between 4-18 hours but again you can choose exactly what you want with no pressure whatsoever, you can even do a double shift in one day if you need that extra cash! The best thing about splendid is that everything is done over the phone whether this be bookings or shift queries, meaning there is always a friendly voice to help you if you ever get lost on the way to an event or need to cancel for whatever reason. I love working for splendid, and I think that you will too :D

Pros

Progession, Good Pay, Great opportunities!

Cons

On your feet a lot! Some heavy lifting

good pay but sometimes can be stressful

Good pay but can sometimes be stressful in terms of shift organisation. Also, management can be quite pushy with shifts even if you say you can't do the shift they have suggested.

Fun workplace

You get to meet many people and get to work at many venues, some are very VIP venues (Buckingham palace). Also, having the freedom to work when and where you want is something that really benefits the worker as they could also be studying therefore can't give their 100% of time.

Long hours/overtime not paid

During the interview process and the induction everything looked absolutely perfect but all the amazing things I was told were only words. You sign a waiver that allows the company to make you work more the 48hr often more than 70hr per week. Staff are pushed to work beyond their physical limits. No overtime or lieu day is given. "Like it or leave it" attitude by managers. Low pay

Plethora of opportunity

At splendid you will work at a wide variety of places with a wide variety of people. Some jobs will be stressful and fast-paced where you will not even get a eating break however others can be very relaxed, it just depends on who you're working for. Personally I found the inconsistency of jobs an issue as i was trying to save money fast and sometimes didn't have a job for weeks. Nevertheless once you get used to the work and meet new people the job can be very enjoyable and i would recommend it.

Pros

Meeting new people & new skills

Cons

Certain clients are stressful

Caring and fair company

Having worked with 3 different companies to date, I am extremely happy I joined Splendid. They really embrace work-life balance. They also really study how they can enhance the employee's experience. Always open to suggestions from the team. They not only care about the employee but also about the guest ( I am referring to the actual person and experience and not only revenue/ROI) I would happily recommend this company (which in fact I have already done)

Pros

Perk box, support

Cons

None!!

Productive and fun place!

I am relatively new to the company but I only have positive things to say about Splendid so far. It feels more like a family, where focus is not only on working had, but also having fun and making sure we progress together as a team. It's an incredibly diverse team, with people from across the globe, with different cultures, languages and ideas. It's so refreshing! Benefits are great, learning and development is in focus at all times, and our ultimate aim, to take care of our guests, is always at the forefront in everything we do. Come and join us!

Pros

Free lunches, Free dry cleaning, Development incentives

Delivered what was expected and more

I joined the Splendid Family back in 2017 as the role suited my location and needs at the time. The support from the group has been excellent with a number of varied training courses designed to make you your very best, and support the strategy of the company. I have see the company evolve over the two years I have worked with them and it’s getting better everyday with more aligned business plans and better infrastructure in group support. You really are treated as a family member with areas for progression and a place to have your voice heard.

Pros

Structured people team

Truly a great place to work.

I have worked for Splendid for just under 2 years and can honestly say that it's the best two years of my career so far. Every day is different and my role offers me plenty of variety, as well as working within a great team! I would really recommend the company to work for - it really strives to achieve a family culture and I am looking forward to seeing what the future brings!

Pros

Great team

Great workplace

I was looking to progress my career and Splendid Hospitality gave me the opportunity to develop and to achieve my dream job. You have 100% support from every department. Loads of perks and training available. Here you have the opportunity to grow along with the company and to be rewarded for your hard work.

Pros

Good Progression for Hard Workers

I was looking to progress my career but wasn't really sure what direction to take next - Front of House shift work doesn't fit my home life now. After a lot of discussion with relevant managers, I have been given a great promotion that suits my needs and am now working towards my next progressive role. Great team to work with, lots of socialising and closely knit team throughout senior and middle management and our direct reports. I feel well equipped and supported whilst still being left alone and trusted with my role to make my own way with it - mistakes are pointed out but not criticised, you're given the opportunity to learn from them. Most enjoyable bit of my job is the interest in my career progression from the Senior Team and the training opportunities provided. I think if you're willing to put in the hard work, which gives the job satisfaction I was looking for, this is a great place to work - if you're looking for an easy ride with not much asked of you, this is maybe not the place - they want driven people; a good quality in my opinion.

Pros

Progression

Cons

I know it's free but staff food could be better

Culture, growth, workplace

Cons

None!
