Adelaide Oval

A Typical day at work consists of Bar set up wiping down all service areas. Placing plastic cups and trays on bar, adding float to till. Set up red wine display with plastic wine cups and champagne flutes. Set up crips and nut display. Open bar ready for service.

I have learnt new cash handling procedures.I have had an opportunity to help in a 2IC position,as manager was not experienced in Bar Operations to begin with and how we operate this particular bar.

My co-workers are exteremly experienced, youthful, passionate and friendly. We work well as a team, but can all work alone if need or asked.

I dont find any part of my job difficult.I call it a challenge and will give anything a go.

The most enjoyable part of my job are talking to and taking an interest in all the many different people from all walks of life from all over the world and locally. Some of these people have great stories experinces and hardships.

Expect to work a few hours more every day without pay or a record of it because you won’t be clocking in or out. Food is 
provided most of the time but not guaranteed. A lot of the jobs are mindless prepping because of the sheer bulk and there’s barely any cooking besides putting stuff in the oven. The pay and benefits look appealing at the start but because of all the free overtime you’ll be doing it works out to be the same or less than other places especially once you factor in the cost of having to pay for parking every day. You’ll get told to hang in there a little longer and that they’re working to cut down the overtime so it’s only temporary but after speaking to other staff who have been there longer apparently they were told the same thing before and nothing has changed for years.  All this only applies if you’re applying for a full-time position. If you’re applying to work as a casual/part-time it’s a great job with slightly above average pay.

Overall it wasn't a great experience working there. It got to the point that i stopped taking shifts there and ended up quitting. it seems from the outside a great place to work but its far from it. The management of Adelaide oval are some of the worst i have worked with in my 10 years of bar work. They are passive aggressive, not helpful and just use people. The work is very inconsistent and they force you to accept shifts when you cant and they don't give you the option to reject shifts forcing you to have an awkward conversation with rostering which generally someone of the other end of the phone trying to intimidate you. I was told once that i would be put as a no show even though i had provided a few days notice that i couldn't work which could result in me losing my job. Adelaide Oval is not a place you want to work, so many other places you spend your time working

I enjoyed my time at Adelaide Oval, the staff were always friendly.
I was mainly on the tills, and thankfully they only ever put me out the back once, as I was terrible at it.
You will mainly stay in one kiosk if you are put there, and every so often be moved to another kiosk and if you were lucky enough, be moved to the super kiosk, which was great as you were always busy and time flew by.
I would suggest busing in or have someone to pick you up as it becomes crazy to catch a bus or parking is super expensive (sometimes and hour or 2 of your shift pay)
If you don't mind working weekends, this was a great job.
The pay was quite good as well.

I only left as I wanted to spend time with my husband on weekends

Adelaide Oval is a beautiful venue in South Australia in the heart of Adelaide. one of the ground where footy and cricket is played. also a amazing place for functions and events. I'am working with Adelaide Oval since 1.5 years as a Food and beverage attendant and a venue setup crew, customer service and presentation skills are the two major skills that i learned while working here. I love to talk with customers and provide our best service so that they enjoy the event and functions.

A typical day involves arriving on time, wearing uniform, go straight to my supervisor and take my position. I get on well with management and am able to approach them with any questions.

I have learned to communicate with customer (fans). The co-workers that I work with are very friendly and also good to talk to.

The most enjoyable part of the job is that I get to watch sporting events and concerts, I haven't come across anything that I find hard to do during work.

Typical day involves meeting up with the manager and finding out any changes in the bar. For example new drink options, change of bar layout and recording where drinks go. It has a collaborative exchange of ideas for drink choices. The management is there to motivate and push on to get the work done. The hardest part of the work is the late hours and dealing with rude intoxicated customers.
The most enjoyable part of the job is the atmosphere.

I got lucky where I was put, I work with great people and great customers. The worst thing personally is when they move you around, it is intimidating. The management is not any good, it is also hard to know who to contact because they don't make things clear in the induction. Otherwise, I enjoy it but unstable hours is a big downside.

It was a while ago that I worked there and I know the management structure has changed, but I was a good place to work with a good atmosphere. It was mainly functions and events but the most important time event was the test match each year which was very demanding. At the end of the test, a well deserved drink was require with fellow co-workers.

I did one day volunteer work where the employer really liked my work ethic and told me to bring my papers in the following day. however I already got a better job that I heard from through family so I decided not to return.
My experience was good, its a nice social group of people you clean the stadium with, from bottom floor right upto fifth. Not very labor intensive. Would recommend for people who need a steady paying job temporarily..
