Colchester-United-Football-Club

I enjoyed working at Colchester Football Ground as a waitress as I gained many skills. The most enjoyable part of the job is meeting the customers and being able to build relationships. No training was provided, there was slight shadowing and directions were given by other co-workers and supervisors to help. I have gained silver-service waiting skills and communication skills.
If it was a match-day I would serve to 2-4 rooms containing 10-20 people each. The rooms varied from simple drink service to a 2/3 course meal. On match days I would serve alone in the busy atmosphere. If it was an evening dinner party, I would serve as part of a team a 2/3 course meal at silver-service expectations. This role also included polishing cutlery, taking drinks orders and clearing the tables.

The guys i worked with were amazing, although the management above and beyond me were rude, narrow minded, unapproachable and when i tried to streamline process i was met with a rude barrage of "it's not how we do things here!", even though my ideas were well founded and would save the company money and time.


Avoid at all costs.

Colchester united is a unique place to work,as you can work up stairs or down stairs. Each location has a different set of people who deals with you. Down stairs you get lead by team leaders who have been picked to take charge or the team. Often you will get the shifts you want and have a chance to work extra shifts if required

Worked here a couple years ago now
Was a good job but not great pay 
Hours were sometimes too much 
A very hard job 
The best thing about the job was the staff and the manager at the time, was a friendly environment to be in. 
got a few advantages within the job  but not too many, some things were questionable. 



Within working within this setting i have learnt how to present myself in a professional manner.There is great team within the setting from management to members .The most enjoyable part of the job is interacting with staff and clients.

On shifts staff do very little and are underpaid so they go together. There is a lot of time where staff just stand around. My "interview" was just the manager of catering asking me when can I start working.

Minimum wage with minimal hours, a pretty easy job until you run out of things that they haven’t remembered to buy. All really nice staff though and a really nice environment, will make a good second job if you need to fill some time up.

Management are focused, positive and professional, qualities that run through each and every work colleague.
It’s like working within a big family environment.
Someone always has your back

The security of keeping the job wasn't good but enjoyed experience. Extended mt knowledge and helps me gain confidence to extend my career for the future.

It’s an easy job to do, nice people to work with, nice team leaders, nice management. Can get boring while waiting for customers before gates open and half time starts.
