Bar associate Review

I work front of house, i serve customers, i make drinks, i take out food and iorders, I clean toilets and make sure the pub in general is clean and tidy. I give the best customer service I can so that people have a positive experience and come back in the future

Yes, I have developed my time management skills, listening and speaking skills, and I am always working on my customer service skills. I have also been working on how to deal with my adhd in the work place which has been very helpful with all other skills needed for this job

I always enjoy learning and love new experiences so to be learning more about a job I am already passionate about is exciting and I would definitely recommend an apprenticeship to many of my friends. It is great that the expenses are covered and I like that it isn't just aimed at my workplace, its hospitality as a whole

At the start I didn't feel it was very organised but that is because of issues beyond our control, since I have a new learning coach and regular meetings I feel it is very well organised and I am very much looking forward to completing it and seeing what other opportunities there are

A lot in the terms of helping me with questions I'm struggling with or how to put words from my head onto paper, but time wise it isn't great. I need a little extra support but after speaking with my learning coach I will hopefully have some time freed up

I received a lot of support from my training provider, I am receiving extra help with adhd and after speaking with my learning coach I am getting f extra help with things like reminders so I don't get behind. I feel very confident when working now and know I have support there when I need it

As it isn't all about wetherspoons and is about hospitality in general, it is helping me a lot with policies I wasn't aware of. I am learning things about customer service in a way I haven't been show before and that is helping me a lot. I am better at dealing with customers etc

Yes, we are always looking for ideas on how to raise money for our chosen charity. It is often left to us to organise an event and we also do things like tough mudder as a group again to raise money for our chosen charity. Last year I organised a charity event for the pubs birthday and we made nearly £200

Yes

I would recommend jd wetherspoon to a friend because I have made a lot of friends working here and the benefits of working here are very good. Shifts work around me and my son, I don't have to worry about any of that and the pay is above minimum wage with added bonuses

Advice I would give is be prepared to be busy and warm, over summer it can be extremely busy and when it is short staffed it can be very difficult to deal with. Always speak to managers if you are having a difficult time as this can also help as they are willing to listen
