Good Job for temporary basis

Indeed Featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
I worked in AMT for about a year in an Irish site, management from England never contacted our branch, worked mostly by myself which I didn’t mind but got tedious some days.

Pros

Free Coffee

Cons

Poor Management

Good job for students

The job is quite good for students who require flexible hours and like to take cover extra hours if required. The job itself is okay, however, there are not many benefits offered by a company and a low salary. Also, bars are tiny and most of them have not been renovated for a long time.

Demanding and the least rewarding place I've worked for

It has been good for the first 2 years but afterwards everything went bad. Management, job atmosphere etc. Unfortunately can't think at any pros now. New candidates stay away, reconsider your options before applying. Former area manager

Pros

Free sandwiches and coffee

Cons

Everything else

Horrendous company to work for!!!!

Near to no training…. Expected to do things that are not in my contract. Area manager and HR manager are as useful as a waterproof tea bag. When you tell management about issues about your unit they don’t listen. Great that you get food half price still cheaper to go to Tesco and get a meal deal for the prices they charge! On a plus side you get a couple of drinks on shift but that’s about it. The six months I was with this company was a waste of time and do not recommend!

Amazing team but fast-paced environment

AMT York, based in the train station, can be a fast-paced and occasionally stressful workplace. That being said, the team themselves are all incredibly welcoming and kind people that are more than happy to welcome anyone into the team. I do feel at times AMT is understaffed and relies on the few Baristas to make up hours - which can result in long shifts where you’re standing on your feet all day. As well as this, the staff can be treated poorly at times (not necessarily by the Manager themself, yet rather by Higher Ups and the company itself). The company insists on a smart dress code which can be hard in Summertime as the bar itself has no air-conditioning or fan to cool the staff down (sometimes reaching highs of 30/40 degrees). Overall the job itself is well-paid, with friendly staff and management.

Pros

Good pay, lovely staff

Cons

Long hours, Very hot in Summer and very cold in Winter

No structure and the higher management don't care

Had to chase higher management to get paid on time. Lack of communication in the company.Funky position namesSenior Operations/Operations/Area/Project but all seem to be clueless of what is going on and just get paid and do nothing.

Management care about profits not staff!

very little structure, if any, poor pay, no organisation, poor processes, inadequate support, inexperienced staff, recruitment didn't have a clue what they were doing and organisation has no regard for work-life balance.

Cons

Poor Pay, No work-life Balance, No Structure or progression, Create job roles for the sake of it, inexperience staff and poor processes.

Avoid this company

To start with this company tell you how much you are valued and then once you are in the job the pressure starts.You don't get breaks you don't get looked after and you are supposed to be all call 7 days a week. You get disturbed on your day off and it is all about the work and how good the company is.Save yourself the misery and don't apply for this job.

Pros

3 free coffees a day

Cons

Rubbish shifts. All weekend shifts no help and area manager is constantly ringing you.

Good and challenging place.

There is a lot of tasks to make and that makes time roll quick. Can be challenging when it is busy but everyone manages. Very difficult to manage a 24h bar like in the airport so it became chaotic between shifts.

Pros

Experienced staff is very supporting, Highest barista salary in Dublin, Good for working there about 4 months before getting tired.

Cons

Some staff dont make good their job and you have to make double. Plus, people where very untidy and disorganized. No meals on staff, just discount.

Wouldnt recommend

Worked as a supervisor, but was basically doing the managers job as the 2 "assistant managers" at the time had no idea of how to help their team . Staff turnover was high . No formal training given . Upper management were no help also . Steer clear .

Pros

Free coffee on shift

Cons

Inexperienced management, rude colleague's, no advancment
Was this review helpful?

uneducated, unorganized, unprofessional

very low professional level in this company and too much blame game in this company, blaming each other for their own mistakes, they will call you to work anytime they think and send you home from work whenever management feel its quite business no fixed certain hours of work.

Pros

I will add if I find some

Cons

long list of them not enough space

No support from higher management

No work/life balance, poor hygiene, bonus is a joke. Rules in regards mystery customer, nonsense... no one cares about maintenance but they expect you to hit the targets. Only positive thing are regular customers

Horrendous

Do not even contemplate a career or job with this company. They talk a very good talk but deliver nothing. Once you're through the door, you're told you are lucky to work for them.

Pros

Expenses

Cons

The Directors, the "leadership" team
