Heavy work load, low pay
Waitressing (Current Employee) - Celbridge, County Kildare - 28 November 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedWhen I first started, they had me come in on one of their busiest days. Thus I only learned how to bring drinks to tables and clean tables for that entire day. It took more than a week to finally show me how to take orders, due to how busy it is. The staff are wonderful to work with though; very friendly and helpful every step of the way. I love their motto "If you don't know how to do something, ask for help". It made me feel comfortable and happy to be working there. Especially as someone who has never been a waitress before. The hardest part of the job, in my opinion, is when things get very busy. Work piles up a lot and sometimes I find myself getting flustered. But again, if you're ever stuck, all of the staff are willing to do whatever they can to help you out. My favourite time so far is working on the weekdays. It is a nice way to wind down during the week. Even doing closing times are enjoyable as well. I look forward to continuing on working here.

Insights into Eddie Rockets
Areas for improvement
- Fair pay for job
- Energising work tasks
- Sense of belonging
Fast paced and hard work
Very busy and often understaffed. Had to do a lot of cleaning that wouldn’t be expected in other waiting jobs. Good atmosphere between coworkers. Fast paced means time goes fast.
Pros
Lunches, coworkers
Cons
Long hours, hard work, a lot of cleaning

Bad working environment
Waitress (Former Employee) - Dublin, County Dublin - 23 May 2022
1) You will get rushed by Coworkers when it's just under 10 min late. 2) Always get last minute call for request to work. 3) coworkers gossiping about you infornt of you. 4)Always get asked to stay overnight working and asked to do extra work as to help others with their not finished work. 5)staff food time were very late and most of the time they forgot to allow you for a break time. 6)the break time is too short (15 minutes break for below 7hours work and 30mins break for above 7hours work) 7) they do not have a specific shift rosters but it is dependent on where you live.
Pros
Free lunch
Cons
Long hours, last minute shift

Difficult and draining work
Waiter (Former Employee) - Newbridge, County Kildare - 18 May 2022
In my time working in Eddie's there were many shifts I worked where the company was completely understaffed, making it stressful and draining for me and others to work in on that particular day. The training provided is not good either in Eddie Rockets. I felt as thought I learned far more from the lovely supervisors I was working with, as opposed to any manager who trained me in.
Pros
Amazing kind staff
Cons
Weak management, bad delivery service (which meant dealing with lots of complaints)

Great people, poor pay, sometimes crazy customers
Waitress (Former Employee) - Dublin Parnell street - 15 March 2022
I loved the people here ie supervisors, chefs, waitrons. The staff are so friendly,m and supervisors understanding for the majority! Cons: poor pay-minimum wage which can be disheartening considering the long hours and sometimes onerous customer requests.

The wage is a joke for the work load.
Waiter (Former Employee) - Stillorgan, County Dublin - 2 March 2022
Avoid at all costs. Colleagues are the only thing great about the company. I worked here for a year and since I left I’ve found happiness again. Don’t waste your mental health on this place and it’s management.

Nice environment but also competitive and risky
Waitress (Current Employee) - Dublin, County Dublin - 2 September 2021
The atmosphere is good, most colleagues are friendly and helpful. This is very important because it helps us to overcome the most stresful moments and to give good service to our customers. However, there are some people who want to show up and don't work in a team. That is a bit uncomfortable. Moreover, being a waitress is risky in pandemic times and more security measures should be taken to protect employees during this period.
Pros
Friendly environment and lunch price
Cons
Long hours and few breaks

Free Lunch

Terrible management

Fun place to work, good experience, productive.
Waitressing (Former Employee) - Dublin - 6 August 2020
I enjoyed my time working at Eddie rockets. I feel like it improved my communication skills a lot, as I was dealing with people all the time. It’s a really fun place to work, staff were lovely, very welcoming and bubbly. I felt like the money was very good, I got paid even though I was just there on work experience. I would definitely take a job like this up as a part time job because now I really love waitressing and dealing with people, I feel like I’m very good at it now. I would definitely recommend working at Eddie rockets to someone else, yes.
Pros
Free food
Cons
None

stressful but fun work
Waitress (Former Employee) - Celbridge, County Kildare - 24 March 2020
times could be stressful and you have a lot of responsibility. some times you are asked to look after tasks that were not in your job description but all together a good place to work ( would advise it to be for part time rather then full time work)

Extremely friendly working Environment
Waiter (Former Employee) - Newbridge, County Kildare - 22 March 2020
Having worked in the Newbridge branch for just over 3 months, I not only learned plenty of skills such as customer service skills and food safety skills, but also learned to work in a productive and fast-paced environment with the help of the extremely friendly staff members all of whom taught me what it is to be a great waiter. I would go back in a heartbeat :)

fast paced
Working day and night-time, antisocial hours, night shift weren't paid on any higher rate. The staff is very nice and easy to get on with, the management isn't that good though

Busy working days
WAITRESS (Current Employee) - Drogheda, County Louth - 9 January 2020
Atypical day at work would be stressful as things needed to be done as fast as possible to ensure customer satisfaction. There were flexible working hours and did not have to ask for time off in a lot of advance.The toughest part of the job was negative workplace culture on busy days.
