These guys are okay. Free entry to the house and Gardens is great, and the extra holiday during Xmas is pretty awesome, you won't find that in many places.

They advertise free food. You won't get that. You won't build relationships because either you're far too busy to build relationships or people are just plain nasty.

The work is rewarding, but you are underpaid for that work. Guarantee that when other companies in your line of work raise wages, Bowood will be the last to raise their wages in a last ditch attempt to hold onto their already fleeing staff.

It's a truly spectacular place to work visually, but the people at the top only care about one thing. And it's not the workers.

Long hours always on your feet and breaks are literally non existent.you don't get a break at all.
Management screaming at staff and sometimes leaving them in tears.nicest part of the job is the interaction with the customers.relationship between kitchen and restaurant is bad.chefs screaming at staff and are very arrogant.most disorganized place I have ever worked at.rotas were given out the night before the new week starts which didn't leave any room to plan your life.very stressful place to work.

There was only one constant manager. All other managers/assisting managers that were employed were useless, inability to lead and teach the staff. They had false promises, for example; I was promised an assisting manager position but it given t someone was nice as a person but had no experience in managing a team. And when I was told they were employed for the position to "not get offended and to feel disheartened". 
But if you want a stable long term job, Bowood is good for that.  

Staff can be friendly and some of the events can be interesting.

However, as well as the low pay and the long hours, there is an inconsistency with the rules and regulations surrounding each of the tasks you have to do - each staff member has their own individual methods of running and managing the place, from pouring drinks to sorting out a guest's stay in the hotel, which can be difficult for newly hired employees to keep within the confines of.

Bowood is an very enjoyable place to work - the fast paced nature of the business shines through and the collaboration between departments is unmatched. Senior management have depths of knowledge and will always be there to support when needed. Great team, strong work ethic and a great place to grow and develop your future. 

On your feet for between 9 and 15 hours a day. Learned silver service, working in a team. Loved working with the team, incredibly friendly and build good relationships. 
Toughest part of the job was being on feet for several hours of the day and being on a zero hour contract. 
The most enjoyable part of the day was meeting new people at work.

The people are friendly to work with, however I did not enjoy the 15+ hour shifts and not being able to have a chance for any breaks. It's a very strict place to work and you constantly feel like you are going to be told off etc.

Bowood is a beautiful place to work. The managers listen, the team all work together as one and I couldn't wish to work for a better company. I highly recommend working here.

I have and still continue to learn a lot whilst working at Bowood hotel from other staff members. I feel I have grown in confidence with how to talk to customers and have become confident in how to do my job well.

Loved working there, learned lots and management were lovely. Have to work hard and long hours for little pay but was worth it due to the staff and environment.
