Good place to work - Front of House Kings Place Employee Review

A nice and friendly team, in a nice space.

The venue has a huge potential, but it isn’t unleashed. The venue insists on programming quite a vast variety of concerts, many of which are not popular at box office. Would be great to see them programming some top shelf artists within a very intimate setting.

FOH team are mostly friendly creative people to work with and build friendships with. You get to see a wide variety of live music, podcasts, poetry, and talks. Flexibility with getting shift cover if you have other freelance work to juggle. ie. acting castings/auditions; gig bookings etc.

The unpredictability of casual hours - shifts been cancelled and no compensation if over 24 hours notice. It's a precarious way to make a reliable income. Not quite the London Living Wage rate per hour. FOH staff do need more protection at times from verbally abusive, or entitled customers/audience members. Definitely a glass ceiling in being promoted internally from FOH or BOH to head office positions. It is a small charity that needs more funding to deliver the programming more effectively, and to expand.
