Pros
Great team of staff (minus the Directors) who had a real camaraderie. Pretty good pay for the industry
Cons
Where to begin?? - I have never been spoken to by a colleague as badly as the Directors at Party Ingredients spoke to me. It was horrific, constantly being yelled at, told off, bossed around and made to work long hours with early starts the following day as standard practice - management very separate from staff, us v them kind of attitude with lots of secret meetings and things being hidden from staff - no flexibility with holidays or time off (told to take it or leave it) - staff made to do multiple jobs (to save costs I imagine) meaning office staff serving at events, sales managers loading kit etc etc - I was spoken down to in front of a client and made to feel like a little child. To me, I wondered why I was hired if they thought so badly of me and my abilities!! - often little or no food provided during long shifts, especially for staff with special dietary requirements. For a catering company, their attitude towards gluten free, diary free, vegan diets was shocking, backwards and old fashioned.
