Pros

Same as most of these reviews, the pros are the team we work with, the team we get to know, the team who check in on each other. They are genuinely some of the best people I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside.

Cons

I’m not going to blame a selective few on how things are going at Moose. Because it’s not just one or two at head office. It comes from the absolute top, because clearly for years this has been consistently getting worse hasn’t it? And for what? At what cost? Squeezing every single last penny out of customers, practically begging for an extra portion of sausages?! Really? Ignoring all bookings systems in which were implemented by you. Coming into stores to “support” in which you either sit in the corner tapping away on your laptop looking at your calendars wondering how else will you waste the day. Or you’ll bark orders at the team, ask one thing then demand the next. Literally run around doing what I don’t know. I think you forget the team are majority of students who are here for extra money whilst studying, you expect so very much from people and yet pay so little. But you do explain how the tips are such a bonus, yes from customers, not you. We always talk about toxic culture and how it’s bad and unhealthy, yet you relish in this. As a company yes money and profit will always have to be the very top of the priority, but to achieve this we have to work together. We are all human. People have families, lives and passions of their own, moose is not the be all and end all. It’s a real shame what you are allowing your environment and business become, but sadly this happens all too often. You get a culture of power mad vultures who take great pleasure in making life as difficult as possible for the little guys. And for that… I’m out ✌🏼

Pros

The team I worked with on floor were great!

Cons

The worst head office I have ever worked for in a very long period. The owners have no idea on how the management from head office speak to the staff. It’s so backwards and outdated the way they handle situations. The head office are bullies! I would not trust any of the positive reviews that have been added on here. Head office add these fake reviews or pay staff to put them on to try build the scoring up.

Pros

Server team are great, usually the only positive aspect in hospitality management

Cons

This company is by far the most horrendous company I’ve ever worked for. During my time there, I have witnessed FOH and BOH struggling to keep up with the unrealistic expectations of upper management. Head office couldn’t care less about their staff. The lack of empathy is astonishing. Servers are put on 6 hour contracts whilst being promised they’ll receive full time hours (they only do this to advertise that they aren’t a zero hour policy company). Many servers had communicated to head office that they’re struggling to pay their bills due to this and struggling mentally to keep up with the work on shift as it’s constantly busy and consistently understaffed!! Store managers are constantly having to complete internal investigations on their staff for things as minuscule as arriving to work a few minutes late. Staff are spoken to like dirt by the head office team. Their lack of empathy isn’t even countered by their business savvy as they repeatedly show that they have no concept of what it takes to run a successful store where team members and management feel valued/ empowered and service is staffed correctly to ensure a great customer experience for guests. 7 GM’s in 2 years really does say it all!! In my first few months I saw both the head chef and GM walk out due to severe mental stress and anxiety placed on them by head office. They have issues with staff taking their full 20 minutes breaks (and nothing more even on an 11 hour day) yet have no problem taking staff off the closing shifts and expecting the rest to stay up to an hour after their rota finish time. BOH are usually never allowed the time to take a break when it’s consistently busy and are reprimanded for it if they do. What will it take for head office to see the pattern that they’ve created where management are constantly walking out and struggling to stay longer than a few months!? Anyone looking for hospitality work should AVOID this company at all costs!!! I would rate 0 star if it was an option.
