Productive

Indeed featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
It is a very flexible industry and you learn a lot as you go along. They’re are opportunities to advance at all times if you look and plan ahead. Can also be very laid back depending on the area that you work.

Brilliant pkace to work

Absolutely loved working at PaddyPower. Brilliant people, great customers, fair managers and most if all great job satisfaction. Was gutted that i had to leave due to illness and if i had the strength would go back in a heartbeat.Love all bookies.....but paddypower is the best and the only one that supports its staff with pleasure rather than regret.Work for paddypowet you will always have a smile on your face.....

Pros

Travel card

Cons

Long hours....but doing a job you like id have done more....

Good place to work

have been a manager at paddy power for 3 years, and the majority of the time it's been very good, they are very generous with bonuses for staff, my district manager really looked after the wellbeing and mental health of staff, the banter with customers is always a plus part of the job the atmosphere in a bookies can really make your day better, the down side to bookie life at paddy power is the 10pm closes and weekends, they go short staffed alot due to there not been enough shops close together to borrow staff for uncovered shifts, so if you like over time its perfect, also they got rid if deputy managers so the process of moving up in the business is quite hard as management rolls don't come around too often, but all in all its been a great place to work and I will miss it

Pros

Bonuses

Cons

Late nights

Don't work at Paddy

The job is hard. The managers are rubbish. The customers are agressive and no help from managers. Have to get to work early and finish late without getting paid. Unsociable hours not worth it for the money. They want you to manage on your own in evening which is dangerous!

Pros

Tips

Cons

Long hours and work weekends

Best of a bad bunch

Nothing to complain about other than management will put business needs before employee needs. Work life balance means nothing if it means keeping a shop open.

Pros

Great shop environments, competitive pay, job security

Cons

I'm sure other bookies must be worse. Right?

Not the best workplace: -Terrible, rude moody customers. -Draconian employee policies. -Upper management putting customers before you while also penalising you for any and everything. -Cashiers do the same tasks the managers do, but get half the hourly wage. -Terrible hours/pay. -Managers abusing the rota policy and always scheduling themselves to finish work in the afternoon 6/7 days of the week while you ONLY work nights.

Pros

It's a job

Cons

Terrible work life balance. You'll only be working nights if you're not a manager.

Busy shop that I made successful

Great place to work but company getting to a point where looking into what you do is more important than service and what you give, the fun was taken out of it.

Highly stressful environment

Bookmakers generally aren't the nicest place to work. They tend to be dirty and gloomy, the clients are generally rude aggressive and unhappy (as is the nature of the business) and you need to have an extremely thick skin. Not for the faint hearted. Management prioritise business over safety and mental health of staff. On the plus side, tips can boost your income, and the shift patterns for some are very desirable.

Pros

Tips

Cons

Generally an unpleasant enivronment

Short of staff

A company that is so overwhelmingly under staff that senior or more experienced members of staff often work by themselves in at times hostile environments. Will be often moved at last moment because of staff shortages. Not the most pleasant of working environments. The salary is very decent, very quick job to pick up and fellow workers are nice to work with.

Relaxed

The company are very fair and I go to work relaxed and ready for the day ahead! sometimes you are met with challenges but then that comes with any employment. Overall I’ve had the best experience and time with paddy power I am going into my 7th year with the company and can’t yet see myself going anywhere else.

Terrible place to work, this is a soul crushing job with terrible management. Managers will leave staff to struggle so they can be lazy.

Terrible place to work. Terrible management. I would 100% say do not work here. the stores are under staffed and ran by lazy managers. The managers are not the best at their job, Just the people who stayed in a bad job the longest. save yourself the waste of time. managers will work the rotas so they do all the easy shifts and leave people getting paid the least to work the busiest and hardest times/shifts.
