Very rude

Pros

It is decent pay. A lot of variety of shifts are available and in different locations. You can also choose your shifts/ flexible - to and extent ( I say to an extent because some shifts they will not accept you if you cannot do all of the required days)

Cons

I used to work here and still do not forget the shifts I did due to how the managers spoke to not only me but the other employees. I have done many jobs after this varying from hotel staff, warehouse to construction and still never have I experienced such a condescending rude place to be at than here. If you were to speak up about the way they talked to you, you would further be told to be quiet and do your work as if in primary school being demanded to do something!! I have never felt so disrespected at a work place. I was made to feel so small and overall bad. Most the team members I would work with all can vouch for me and agree as 80% of them would also mention this to me too complaining about managers. If it was up to me, I would tell someone to only join this company if you are in dire situations of experience/ money. If not then it’s worth finding somewhere else even if it’s slightly lower pay. They are VERY strict with uniform and your presentability (hair, facial hair, shoes, clothes, accessories) - even if you have travelled hours they will send you home for such small things. Though I understand as a company want to keep appearances, this is just something very important I feel like future employees would want to know before joining and not a complaint!!

Hello and thanks for your review. There are occasions when our clients book shifts for a number of days and therefore they want the same people to ensure consistency and save them having to train a new person every day. In these instances we wouldn’t accept someone who couldn’t do all the days - this is in the minority though and the beauty of our app is that you can just swerve the jobs you don’t like and take the ones you do. With regards to the uniform and appearance these are set by our clients and we make every effort to inform you at multiple points in order that you don’t turn up in the wrong dress code and get sent home - this is a waste of your time but also ours as we don’t make any money if you you don’t go to work so there is no benefit to us in not allowing you to work and the clients are upset with us as much as they are with you. We do inform you upfront in the induction, and on the confirmation for every shift so you have every opportunity to opt out if it doesn’t suit you. Overall I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy your experience - perhaps if you had bought the issues up whilst you worked for us then we may have been able to resolve them rather than waiting until now to post a review.

Pros

I’m update every day on shifts Available…I couldn’t ask for more to be honest.

Cons

The only thing that I can think of is I get offered shifts that are at least 2 hours away from home.
