Demanding but sometimes exciting
Hospitality Staff (Former Employee) – Coventry, West Midlands – 10 July 2018
Typical day at work included serving and attending to customer needs and there are times were we will have to also prepare the table (servings,glasses etc).
Learnt about the different cultures through meeting different people from work, learnt how to be even more resilient as the job is very demanding at times.
The most enjoyable part of the job is being able watch the football games at times, the generous chefs who also save us food, transport to a near by station when shifts ended at times like 2am.
Management was very good as everything was always organised which made it easier for us workers to complete any task given.

The amount of work there is to do in such a short space of time is not adequate to the wages.

When i used to work for Ricoh Arena, i would tend to do game day shifts which consisted of serving customers who were there to watch the game. However, the worst part of the job was that we werent allowed breaks.

HOSPITALITY WAITRESS (Former Employee) – Coventry, West Midlands – 19 March 2018
Ricoh Arena is a good place to work, the staff are helpful and provide as much help needed for their workers to become better at what they do and also for Ricoh to have better quality in their service.
Plus as for the Waitresses/bar staff working at Ricoh really has a nice vibe allowing good team work.

Stewarding (Former Employee) – Coventry – 31 July 2017
although the job was part time It was a very exciting job as you got to interact with different people of all different ages and backgrounds, quite a simple job but with big responsibility, good bosses who make the job as simple and stress free as possible and make you feel comfortable within the work place, you enter the staff room and get the stuff you need for the afternoon I.e. high vis jacket or coat (optional) and clicker, you then go into the meeting room when the boss gives you relevant information of the game day, how many fans they are expecting, also run you though the emergency drills every week so you are familiar with them in case of an emergency. Once being told the drills for the day you get to work, the most enjoyable part of the job was being around a football stadium and feeling a unique atmosphere while being at work, the most difficult part was dealing with certain members of the public, remembering the temperament of a minority of football fans sometimes caused a few problems but nothing that couldn't be dealt with instantly but overall the job was enjoyable with a good group of people and a happy environment.
Pros
free entry to the game after shift finishes
Productive and educational
