Pros

Not many that come to mind. Starfish Quay parties are good.

Cons

Team leaders and venue managers are bullies. You're forced to work longer hours then you're contracted for. Everything is old and shabby (but not chic) staff accomodation is especially poor. Loads of boozing and drug use despite Butlins claiming to be strongly against it. I'm guessing the only reason people come is because it's cheap. I'm only here because I couldn't find anything else, as is the case with many workers.

Pros

If there was more training for managers maybe they would think twice before bullying people to try and make themselves feel important. Anxiety attacks and headaches now stopped.

Cons

No one should have to endure being targeted from new management trying to make a point. Being gay isn’t a crime and nothing to do with anyone. Was made very ill and made to feel sick to the stomach knowing he would never let up until I was gone. A job I loved turned into a nightmare because of this hateful man. People like him should never be in charge of anything or anybody. The lovely guests actually put some lovely things about me on line and I was very touched. I suppose that’s why he went so full on to try and make me look bad. What the guests thought of me is far more important to me than his opinion.
