Pros
Nice uniform. Hotel in the centre and close to everything. Pay a few cents more than other hotels (10.79 per hour)
Cons
The hotel is historic and very beautiful, but unfortunately the HR team is very disorganized. There are a lot of resignations, a lot of work and little return. I only worked one day at the hotel (8 hours of standing work with only 15 minutes of break) and I saw the lack of preparation for Covid. The table that was supposed to be cleaned and disinfected after guests used it was not being properly disinfected. The waiters took the cutlery, salt and sugar bowl, took them to the kitchen and returned with the same unsoiled utensils for the tables. (Cameras can prove this and managers were aware that utensils are not being disinfected!) I also witnessed one of the waiters collecting food that had fallen on the floor WITH HIS HAND, as he was not guided where the broom and dustpan were to clean the floor. Until today I haven't received the day I worked and the training! Yes, unfortunately I worked for free! I have not received feedback from managers about this either. (not even the contract was sent to me, just the email telling me when I should work!) Unfortunately, the management positions at the RIU Dublin hotel are not prepared for this large and renowned hotel chain. Hope this improves in the future and that they treat their employees and customers with respect.
