Pros

Some hard working team members

Cons

Very low morale. Lack of operational knowledge throughout, with no effective strategy or planning. No attention paid to visitor concerns (read Tripadvisor responses!) H&S is given little thought. Whole site is in need of attention, with many aspects fallen into disrepair, and no plan to resolve. Expect to work without a contract, with pay made by cash in hand. You may be required to work hours that contravene Working Time Regs. Favoritism is shown by team leaders with regards to rotas and areas of work. Management team seem unappreciated and unhappy. Pay is low. Essential equipment needed to perform role isnt replaced when required. The GM is generally uninterested in resolving problems

Pros

- Interview and trial shift process was smooth - No issues with pay - Never too busy - Generally nice customers - Got on well with managers

Cons

- Short shifts of 6 hours max as a seasonal worker - got sent home early/had last min cancellations when no work, which was very frustrating - Would be good as a first job for younger people - Disorganised ticket system and old till made life more difficult than necessary
