Pros
The only good thing about working here is being able to see films for free and the discount on food, and even then, you're limited to how many times you can come in a month, and the discount only applies to a small selection of items.
Cons
I turned down another job offer to accept an opportunity at Everyman, as I was told during my interview that it would be a role involving customer service, I'd be receiving regular hours and that there'd be opportunities for career development. However, the reality of the job was completely different from what was promised. The contract turned out to be zero-hours, and there would be weeks where I received only one shift or none at all. When I brought this up to a manager, I was simply told that's how it works and to find another job if I didn't like it. The role ended up not being just customer service, but I was also expected to clean screens and toilets, prepare food, run orders, check stock and wash dishes all for minimum wage. I regularly had to deal with abusive customers, and management provided no support when these situations occurred. I expressed surprise the first time I was told to wash pots, as it wasn't mentioned in the job description, and this resulted in me being labelled as 'aggressive' by managers. I received hardly any training either, and I learned most aspects of the role from other team members. The workplace environment is highly unprofessional and cliquey. Managers will sit back and openly gossip about staff while leaving us to work, those who don't engage in drama and get on with their work are labelled as quiet and hostile, and they'd find a problem with me even if I did a task exactly as instructed. As of today, I'm still yet to receive my P45 and final paycheck.
