    AI summary of recent reviews

    Funlab stands out for its inclusive and progressive culture where employees feel welcomed to be themselves. The company offers attractive perks and benefits, maintains a supportive team atmosphere, and provides numerous opportunities for growth and development. Many employees appreciate the fun, energetic environment and the strong sense of community across the brands.

    However, employees note some areas for improvement, including the challenge of maintaining work-life balance due to demanding schedules, particularly during peak periods. The consistency of management support and training delivery varies between venues, and some find the rapid pace of change due to company growth challenging to navigate. The fast-paced environment can be demanding, requiring adaptability and resilience.

    Facilities Technician

    Surfers Paradise QLD 4217Less than 1 year in the role, former employee
    Great start but went downhill fast
    The good things- the hours were nice (min 30/week doing both tech and FOH) - half price food and free soft drinks/water on shift - FOH casuals were very supportive of each other - management team was good in my first few weeks until almost the entire team left or got transferred.
    The challenges- a lot of the managers left around the same time so there were huge shifts in team leaders - very poor “training”. My first FOH shift I was handed a radio and left to figure it out - I was stuck doing a lot of the same cleaning work in tech every day - My initial tech training was signed off before it was completed and whenever I’d ask for further training I was shut down - I requested a meeting with the venue manager to bring up concerns I had about my training and safety at work and was talked over. I was told my lack of training was due to an incident in my first few weeks where I was struggling with a tool I had initially not been shown how to use - Injuries were not taken seriously. I injured my shoulder at work and was blamed for it. - When I was hired I was informed that I would be doing both FOH and tech so when technical issues came up while I was on FOH I could step in to solve the problem. Yet whenever I did this I was reprimanded.

    Don’t waste your time, I would go elsewhere or at least a different venue
    The good things- some of the people (SOME) - the atmosphere - if you enjoy working with kids and families it is a really fun role
    The challenges- having supervisors and main managers that talk behind your back about personal details was a main reason for leaving - unreasonable hours - many drunk people in the venue as its surfers - no coordination

    Bar Supervisor

    Brisbane QLD 40003 to 4 years in the role, former employee
    A decent start to the hospo industry, not a long term job.
    The good thingsThe team culture, and the initial training.
    The challengesThe corporate culture and the poor support from upper management. High staff turnover due to constant burnout and understaffing. The kind of corporate profit-obsessed business that will say "you're family" but will complain about having to pay you minimum wage.
