Good Job for the summer

Receptionist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Good culture among the front of house workers and their direct managers that encouraged camaraderie. Management also doesn't breathe down your neck 24/7 and allows you to actually do your job and have a laugh with your colleagues as you do it. Cheap rent in the centre of Edinburgh too for the summer. Good Job for those who want to spend a summer in Edinburgh and aren't looking for something more permanent from it.

Cons

While there are some returning staff, each summer is majority new staff for the reception, so your mileage may vary on experience there. The business practice can also be a bit nickel and dime-y in some regards (although I am told by some returning staff that this has gotten better than previously), of which the front of house staff are on the receiving end of the guests who are more irate about it.
