    A very enjoyable place to work with great people.
    The good thingsThe variety of work is very nice. Cross-department shifts give you a taste of different hospitality areas, from cafe and gaming room work to premium mixology and high-end events.
    The challengesWhile you can be rostered across different areas and departments, making a permanent shift can be difficult.
