Midleton Park Hotel Employee Reviews

The job is not as easy as it seems. I did receive very good training. The job is physically hard but not actually difficult. You need to leave the rooms spotless or there will be complaints. If anyone calls sick the rooms they were assigned to do will then get assigned between whoever is on for the day. Obviously do not take this job if you don’t like cleaning because you will do a ton of it.

lesuire centre

health club attendant (Former Employee) - midelton - 30 June 2022

i worked at the leisure centre in midelton park and as a worker i felt unappreciated and overworked. A typical day would be mainly cleaning i was only able to practice my skills on a very limited basis as a PT/fitness instructor. Me and a colleague cleaned to a high standard but the workers in the lesuire centre were lazy and expected other people to do there job for them. Management was rarely seen and any conversation that was spoken between other leisure attendants was repoted back to management. there are good workers in the hotel and there was nice people such as a the members that i went above and beyond for but ultimately it was let down by poor management decisions and poor mainteance. As a worker i wish i was supported more and wish there was a better culture inside there, there was a lack of team work and lack of communication between the team, and people that were in only a few days complained and did very little to fix any problems or contribute to the day to day jobs.the members deserve a lot more and there needs to be a review on the running of the centre. there are some positives like customer service training. they adversited a family like culture within there team but all it was was snitching, people doing half a job and people not having your back or supporting you or giving a hand and when you speak with authority people like do a job they get offended because they dont know a hards days work

Too cliquey

Floor Staff (Former Employee) - County Cork - 7 June 2022

Very strange work culture with bossy employees and managers who can make the job harder if you refuse to suck up to them (employees incldued). Also no free lunches or anything like what other hotels offer

Pros

Free gym

Cons

Everything else

Great People

All rounder (Former Employee) - Midleton, County Cork - 31 March 2022

Worked here for years and I made a lot of good friends here. Worked in all departments. Left because I felt the time was right to move on and get experience somewhere else though I still miss it there.

Great place to work.

Front Office Manager (Current Employee) - Cork - 24 March 2020

Good place to gain hospitality experience in all Departments of a Hotel. Talbot group really looks after its employees. If you are willing to put in the work , its a great place for career progression.

Would not recommend

Wait Staff / Bar tender (Former Employee) - Midleton, Co. Cork, IE - 13 December 2018

I worked here for a year, on my first day I was just thrown in the deep end and had to fend for myself. Management here aren't helpful at all and huge staff turnover, always short of staff! Management pick and choose their favorites and treat everyone differently. You are worked to the ground and even on your days off they ring and ask you to work. Pay is worryingly low and they deduct your uniform and your meals out of your wage even if you don't eat their horrible food!! Most of the wait staff and most of the chefs are nice and they are what made me stay for a while but the hotel is run very very badly and staff aren't looked after here. Would not recommend!!!

Pros

Some of the employees are nice

Cons

Long hours, bad management, low wage, no free meals, no work/life balance
