Working harvest at Elveden Estate - werkgeversreview Harvest Assistant bij Elveden Estate

Great managers in my department Great colleagues who are easy to talk to/work with 20% staff discount First dibs on reduced products Rotas can be worked around regular commitments

Pays minimum wage Big pay gap between colleagues at the same level, and between staff in the courtyard & staff working in the offices. Not much overtime available due to the 9-5 opening hours Managers will deny you holiday if they feel like it, even if you've got an important event/appointment Can be soul destroying to work during their quiet months Lack of career opportunities as many staff have worked there since Elveden opened and there is low turnover in management/supervisory positions Lack of staff benefits

Some lovely colleagues at shop floor level Sociable hours Easy work Great if you want part-time work or something to tide you over for a short period of time

Micro-managed by supervisors/managers Lack of overtime Minimum wage Lack of training Staff suggestions go ignored Bad communication from management Lack of opportunity for promotion Expects staff to complete manager duties on shop floor wage Mind-numbingly boring work Rude customers Lack of staff benefits
