Good event experience, but inconsistent communication and support

Hopitality

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Access to high-profile venues and major events Opportunity to gain experience in fast-paced hospitality environments Work alongside a wide range of colleagues on large-scale operations

Cons

Inconsistent management standards, with varying levels of experience and training across teams Progression and responsibility do not always appear to be linked to skill or performance, which can affect team dynamics and efficiency Gaps in training can slow operations and place additional pressure on more experienced staff Communication and decision-making processes can feel unclear, particularly around disciplinary or escalation procedures The “do not engage” (DNE) policy lacks transparency, and appeals or queries are not always acknowledged The overall working environment can feel highly pressured, with limited margin for error. This can contribute to ongoing stress, particularly when expectations are unclear or support is inconsistent.
