Solent Forts Reviews

Extremely high turn over - saw 19 people come and go in the kitchen in just over a year. Let alone f&b. Poor pay Long hours. Some weeks we did 5 overnights, with split days off meaning over 100 hours WITHOUT any extra pay. Nor even 24 hours off in a row. Horrendous head office A CEO that couldn't figure out how not to post very private pictures to a company iCloud No gratitude No organisation A lot of empty promises and so much missed potential Refusal to spend money to improve and deliver the standards and quality to guests. No tips. "Service charge" meant service for the venues or cso staff/profit protection

-No presence from HO. -Awful pay for hours worked - it's considered normal amongst staff to work well over contracted hours. -Overnights are obligatory, with shifts starting at 11am and often mean you work until the early hours, sleep for maximum of 5 hours and then wake up for breakfast shift and another full day (potentially another overnight stay). On numerous occasions I have worked over 17 hours per day. -No training provided to new starters -Tips do not go to staff - every month the 'logistic delivery team' earn up to 4x more gratuity than the staff that provide the service. -No staff incentives, no staff support. -Managers manipulate staff to appease them and prevent issues going further. -Staff hired as F&B, but aren't told that they are also expected to be luggage porters and deck hand for boats (sometimes in extremely dangerous weather).
