Pros

It's a no contract job, paid weekly and I've met great people along the way.

Cons

The pay rate is terrible and low for the amount of work you do The consultants are trash and unproffessional They don't always pay the right amount of money you've worked for, so you have to continuously chase them up on it to get all your money. They cancel shifts without letting you know and don't compensate for the travel money you wasted.

We're sorry that you do not feel happy about working for us. We do work with thousands of workers each year, and sometimes issues can occur. Even if it is an extremely small minority, we are nevertheless keen to ensure everyone has a positive experience. However, we are human and things can go wrong. Which is why feedback is so important. It's not immediately obvious if the issue relates to one with us or our clients. However we would like to look into this. Please can you email the Quality Assurance team on QA@berkeley-scott.co.uk. You can see our feedback policy here http://www.berkeley-scott.co.uk/contact-us/feedback-complaints/ and can be assured this will be dealt with anonymously.

Pros

As long as you put in the work they look after you really well. Very understanding if something comes up and you have to cancel a job. They regularly check in on you. I have been with them for a few months now and there has only been one week where I didn’t really get any work. I’ve also never really worked a weekend which is unheard of in catering. You accrue holiday pay which is great. Really flexible with you being able to decide when you want to work.

Cons

If you are wanting to do agency work in restaurants then this agency isn’t really for you. They deal more with workplace catering and schools (mostly). There’s the worry of not having work, but that can be said for any agency and like I say I haven’t really had any issues with that apart from one week where I didn’t have work.
