Morley-Hayes

i find most of my shifts here are not fun at all. its a 50/50 is management is going to treat you horribly or not and there are alot of petty and nit-picky rules you must follow because "the boss said so". it feels like they have god-complexes at times. i have seen other employees (and myself) be body shamed by some of management and the occasional coworker. most (not all) management definitely sees you as lesser to them because you are on minimum wage and find its an excuse to talk to you like dirt and expect you to drop everything you are doing when asked to do something for them even if what you were doing before was arguably more important.
on a more positive note, the coworkers are very friendly and hours are very flexible but sometimes management forgets to even put you on the rota.  

As it is close to Christmas my place of work gets very busy; on busier shifts i work behind the bar and greeting customers. If they have any enquiries i am there to help.
I have learnt to be more confident and to work in a professional manner get along well with my co-workers as together we help to customers enjoy their experience which is better for the business.
The hardest part of my job is the pressure when we are over booked i feel I cope well with this and have learnt to do so over the years of working there.
The most enjoyable part of my job is being able to help customers and making them feel welcome to come back, as they have enjoyed their experience.

Most times I worked on wedding lunches and party buffets, this involved preparing the room for the function, before working as a team to get all meals/food out to the customers quickly. Working in a fast-paced environment was stressful at first, but became fun once I'd adjusted to the rhythm. My boss was wonderful and made sure that our shifts worked around our education/other important commitments. The hardest aspect of the role was not knowing when shifts would end, so organising getting home/making plans was incredibly difficult. However, working at events such as weddings and parties, seeing guests happy was always satisfying.

a typical day at work for me would be to check how many people are booked in for a meal on that shift, usually around 100 people depending on if its a bank holiday etc.. When a check comes through of what a certain table is eating etc the staff prepare the table bring them through, pour there wine/water and give them the service of Morley Hayes. 
I have learnt how to become a good waitress and met the expectations and standards of Morley Hayes. I personally love to meet new people as i am a friendly and calm person so I can easily make the customers feel welcome and get along with the staff.

A typical day starts at around 10AM with you finishing at around 9:30PM with only a 30 minute lunch break between 3-5. You will learn how to run multiple sections the longer you are there typically starting on the 'Starters' section which consist of things like sandwiches, Jacket Potatoes, and other food items. The chefs at Morley Hayes are all nice and down to earth. While others are, left to be desired. Don't be surprised if people talk about you behind your back creating a tense and toxic workplace. I personally do not recommend working here

Awful wages and you will never get a raise no matter how well you do. 
Culture is awful , everyone warey of the owners as they are always trying to catch staff out.
The owners don't treat people with respect at all and there is a lot of back stabbing. 
Career progression is non existent. 
Bottom line is don't work here unless it's short term for cash (and very little it!)

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing  they just treat you as a number and all they think about is money and like to keep bullies working there and will make your life rubbish till you quit or walk out 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Avoid this company at all costs 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very bad don't care about you make you work even if your ill

Within Morley Hayes on the first day was my practice day and everything was taught to me. For example how to do food and clear tables and how necessary it is to be polite to customers so that they keep coming back. Then after the first day it was a breeze I met a lot of new people that where incredibly welcoming and helped me if I had any issues or questions. 

Very long 12 hour shifts at times with a 30 minute break, not always guaranteed a meal whilst on shift either. Other colleagues not always helpful when you are new, some have bullying, bad attitude, particularly an older female who works there. Low wage. Drunk customers giving abuse. Avoid. Claim jobseekers instead.

Working a day is a hard graph but you feel good after you have completed the jobs. I learned many things as I was an apprentice there so I got to learn the basics. The head green keeper, while i was working there was a sound guy. workplace culture is good, lots of banter between work colleagues helps you get through the day.
