Bartender (Former Employee) – Bushmills – 19 February 2020 (4/5)
“Different every day
Worked at the causeway hotel which is where MPA referred me to. Well payed, particularly for unskilled workers under 25. The pace depended greatly on each day and time of day. At dinner/lunch time on weekends things could get quite stressful, yet times in between could be very slow and relaxed. One problem I had was that for a little while no stock had been ordered so we were out of almost everything. Other than that the managers were mostly friendly and the job was enjoyable.”
