      Unit manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I am yet to find any

      Cons

      Bully dictator management I was employed almost 12 months ago as a senior manager I am however given no automony to run my business as my own Senior managers with glorified director titles dictate every aspect of my role Payroll is a shambles- do not expect them to care if a team member was under paid Procurement do not understand the business they sell to clients and negotiate deals with suppliers forcing prices to be upwards of 70% higher than retail prices Supply chain.... what supply chain they don't have one If you are not in catering you are the poor relation yet they continue to sell themselves as more than catering

      Management is disastrous

      Customer service assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The only pro is the satisfaction that you have helped and improved the stay of a customer.

      Cons

      The management is disastrous and really feels as though they have no direction. Many, many changes in restaurant only for it to go back to how it was before I even became an employee. Also, often the changes that do happen are for the worst leading to difficult times for all employees. The manager's know this but are too stubborn to change and do not listen to the opinions of their employees. It's a case of who you know in the job in order for you to progress regardless of whether you can actually do the job. I know an employee who has been working there for 13 years and still hasn't been offered a supervisor role, yet someone who literally only came into the job 6 months before is now a supervisor with next to no experience whatsoever.

      Hopeless

      Chef manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Monday -Friday hours. weekends off and bank holidays paid, 20 days annual holiday. Lunch provided for staff working 6 hours or more.

      Cons

      Senior management are not interested in h&S , literally only bothered about bottom line figures. No interest in morale of team, no interest in advice for progression. This company have good idea's at training level however have no ability to put these plan's in place. This company is by far the worst contract Catering company ever. Listen to dome sound advice don't ever work for them.
