Pros

They have fairly good job perks, such as half price food and cocktails and free cinema tickets. I'm also lucky to work with some amazing members of staff who are fantastic people, although I know that wouldn't be the case for every venue.

Cons

The company treats its employees absolutely terribly. They have become so greedy with wanting to open new venues, expand current venues, and still keep their stock prices going up (which they currently are despite opening a multi million pound venue in Edinburgh) that they cut their staff's hours abhorrently. God forbid you're on an hourly wage, you'll barely be making enough money to make rent. We are then understaffed for shifts since they only allow the bare minimum labour budget, making them very stressful. Let me state again, Everyman is making plenty of money, and could easily afford to give us more shifts (there is a cabinet in the new Edinburgh venue that cost them 1.5 million pounds) but they make the choice to cut our hours to maximise their profits unnecesseraly. We don't get tips,they make it extrordinarily difficult to get any kind of sick pay, we don't get bonuses, and are generally underappreciated. Please don't out your time into a company who couldn't care less about you.

Pros

Room for growth within the company. Good pay scale. Healthy work environment. Enjoyable atmosphere.

Cons

Scheduling can be difficult because of how busy the business stays but you’re never slow or needing more work. If you’re down to work hard there’s money to be made.

Pros

Flexible shifts during quiet periods. Some co-workers were nice.

Cons

Was on a 10 hour contract but often went weeks without shifts, always cancelled due to lack of guests. Minimum wage for essentially doing three jobs - waiter, cinema employee, and dishwasher. Closes sometimes went on for hours after they were scheduled due to busy films during the Christmas period. Co-workers and managers would openly gossip about others on the clock. Managers would pick favourites and let some team members get away with breaking rules while others are scolded. Got sick because I was on closes all the time and ended up lacking Vitamin D because of the late hours in winter. Do not recommend
