The managers appear friendly at first but once you accept the job it becomes clear that management don't know what they're doing, they are very rude and unhelpful.

Disorganised and ran terribly, with managers having no hospitality experience.

A manager took a portion my cash tips.

You don't receive the majority of the service charge of your tables.

The 'free food' provided on your shifts is only available at certain times so if your break isn't during those specific hours you don't get any food, and the food provided is limited and poor quality.

Managers would regularly leave early so they could catch public transport at night but would allow no other staff members to do that.

The reason some staff continue to work there is because they have no prior work experience so don't realise how badly they're treated.

Disappointed with lack of support and recognition in department despite the apparent hotel group effort. A satellite to the rest of the hotel with no effort of involvement from senior management including group spa overseer. This led to team management being poor and seeking help from favoured unqualified team members, segregating the team and making for a very unpleasant working  environment. Little to no training to do aspects of job expected to do, creating extreme frustration and the feeling of  failure, very much pointed out by some other members. There were many tears experienced by several new members and utter despair from visiting agency staff. 

This hotel has a great reputation but it isnt the place to be or work. The pay is really low considering how hard you need to work when there are staff there that get away with doing absolutely nothing fr the whole 12 or 13 hr shift. You get taken advatage of for being a hard worker and there is never anything like a bonus to be rewarded. 

You'll always have a job here in the kitchen because everyone leaves after a short time so they need everyone they can keep.

Lazy management, food in canteen is horrible, ate 4 times food from canteen and twice got poisoned. If you care about your mental health or even physical health, don't go there. Some of the staff members are really nice to each other, but can't say the same about managers, they say nice things to your face but behind your back they say all horrible fictional things. WASTED 6 Years of my life.. 

Working in Kimpton Blythswood Square for 5 years has been a pleasure. The company provides opportunities for everyone who is keen and proactive. Great management ethos and good work culture. Fantastic place to work for students, Blythswood provides very flexible working hours. There are not 2 days the same in Blythswood. The most important place of this hotel is the people’s culture, everyone is happy to help. 

every day was different and sometimes you had to deal with the unexpected.
you where always learning 

some management did not listen to staff feedback so staff and management relations where not perfict

the staff all work together as a team 

the hardest thing for me was leaving as I spent 9 years there and enjoyed meeting people from all different countries and cultures.

Great opportunity to work with such a well known company that has given me lots of confidence. I now feel ready to progress and move forward thanks to the Kimpton. Very good management, they do take care of their staff in my department. I loved working with my team and working with the public, hardest part of the job was trying to progress.

Kimpton's culture is amazing, I was blessed to be apart of the family there. I've learned so much being there and improved even more as an individual! 

Their aesthetics are on point; lovely atmosphere to work in and they are all hard workers and very very organised!

Positive daily outlook, collaborative spirit, some unfair comments depends who you know.
Overall the hotelis is a lovely place to work and learn and I would recommend to anyone who is not afraid of hard work.

Management values bottom line more than staff happiness and well-being. Most staff have left due to simply being over worked or criticisms completely ignored. 

Some of the best bartenders in the city, in one of the most self sabotaging bars in the city.
