Toxic and abusive

Pros

Pride in my workplace and pride in my work. Learned a lot from my co workers

Cons

Constant abuse and bullying more specifically. Some physical abuse in some instances aswell. Worked 90 hour weeks on a 40 hour salary and then extra work outside of these hours at home too. All this only to be told there would be no reference supplied and continued and worsened abuse once resignation was given. I need therapy after my experience here. It also killed my passion for hospitality and has left me with serious mental health issues.

Dont work here

Pros

Learned valuable tips from fellow employees

Cons

Consistent verbal abuse, witnessing physical abuse, humiliation, anxiety and depression inducing pressure, terrible wages, mind games, 14 hour shifts. Not a place to grow as an individual- put me off hospitality for 2 years and made me severley depressed. Monique would tell you to do something and then the next day ask why you've done it - she is constantly hypocritical and lying.
