Good team and bar management 2018-2021 - Recensione dipendente - Bar Staff presso SSD Concerts

The amount of time you spend at work in a stressful environment means you make close bonds with other non-management staff Very occasionally, you get to go work at enjoyable live events

I had to undergo therapy to work through the experiences I had while working for SSD Concerts. Management condones, encourages and personally takes the lead on a discriminatory work environment. Most days in work you will be subject to hearing vile, sexual comments from the owner, either about yourself, colleagues or the artists the company works with. Never received a contract, rarely received a payslip and often paid either late or underpaid. Overtime work was expected but you were rarely paid for it, the 'reward' often came in the form of food or alcohol. Complete lack of clarity in the company structure, staff responsibilities and hierarchy. No opportunity to progress at this company, regardless of how hard you work or for how long. No matter how exciting the concept of working here might be from the outside, or how the opportunity to work in live events in the northeast seems 'too good to be true', it is not worth the sacrifice to your mental health. I wouldn't advise anyone to work here, particularly if you are a womxn.

Rare opportunity to work in music within the north-east

The owner has no problem throwing around racist & misogynistic slurs. Often asks female staff to come out for drinks with him, or sometimes to come out for a meal because they need to 'catch up'. Ironically, he refused to attend 'Shout Up' training... Contracts always promised but never arrived. Rarely paid on time, often pay would be missing when arrived, pay rises promised that never came along or disappearing after a month, tax deducted from my wage yet never registered with HMRC. Don't ever offer to do extra work because he'll never pay you for it either. This same warning goes for freelancers too, you have been warned. Colleagues often let go and slandered like an ex that cheated, with no explanation given for their departure. Also sacked former colleagues for refusing to work during furlough. There's absolutely no progression in this company, there is an irremovable glass ceiling.
