Awful management and illegal working conditions overshadow fun社
Pros
Met great people had fun socially Would give 0 star if it was an option
Cons
- Awful management (unkind and favouritism) - Very illegal (bunk beds are illegal in France, employed in the uk and on secondment in France so vip don’t pay French tax, they held our passports so we couldn’t leave, working until 10pm on a Saturday, then starting at 2.30am Sunday morning and working until 10pm with no break, then back at work for 6.45am on Monday with no time off, signed all of our timesheets at the start of the season and told we were replaceable if we didn’t sign them. These timesheets showed 35 hours a week, we worked at least 55hours a week) - rent is £950 a month for an 8 person dorm in bunk beds and 1 bathroom, dirty living conditions - a company that expected high expectations for customers, and completely overwork and underpay staff. Customers are unaware of this, and the company gets away with it - constant negativity and being told you are “replaceable” - awful pay (£1500 a month taxed and national insurance takes it to around £1350, pay £950 on already taxed money left with £400 a month, at 55hours a week at least that is £100 a week and £1.81 an hour….) - vipski (vita brevis) owner Andy also owns alpbed which is the place we pay rent to… - Andy (owner) in the last week stayed in one of the chalets and thanked all the sales team and ops team for all their hard work and saying profits have never been higher, while all the hosts are standing there beside him letting him talk and he never thanked the hosts. Bare in mind the hosts are the people at the forefront and make it is what it is…
