It was an okay experience
It was an okay experience. We got bus from Manchester to the location and back. This was good in terms of transportation. One thing that wasn't mentioned was how the location was muddy and we would have worn proper shoes.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
I am pleased that the location was good for easy transportation to and from the event.
We do provide staff with information ahead of shifts, but there also needs to be an element of personal preparation when working during bad weather. Appropriate clothing and footwear should be considered based on the conditions and forecast.
Kind regards,

Great Team Experience
I had a really great experience working as a Bar staff for weekend 2 at the festival. It was busy which I enjoyed. I enjoyed interacting with the customers and the overall atmosphere of the event was superb. Always interested in working more of these with ARC.

The Long Road Festival was my first…
The Long Road Festival was my first assignment with Arc and as with anything, I had quiet concerns about what to expect, would it be organised, would there be anyone to hand if anything went wrong .. I can honestly say I was more than impressed.
Jenny and Poppy were amazing. I was met on the first day with smiles. I was provided with clear guidance and instructions of how the event would run and what to expect. I like organisation and order and they ran it like clockwork, always checking in to make sure all was well. I just cannot fault them.
I provide professionalism, quality service and high standards and I received exactly the same in return.
I look forward to my next assignment (after a short holiday!)
I 100% recommend working with Arc. Work hard, earn money and have fun at the same time .. that’s what I call balance 😀

Wouldn’t work with streamline again - Leeds festival
Wouldn’t work with streamline again. Shifts were so long - my original shift was 8am till 4pm on the Friday which was then changed to 9am till 9pm, however I had to stay on until 3am (18 hour shift, and then had to wake up 6 hours later to do another 12 hour shift at 9am), without any of the streamline managers battling an eyelid. Eve (our agency manager) was great but don’t think there was much she could do as I think so many people dropped out as they were horrible working conditions leading to all the remaining people working so much overtime. Across the 4 days I worked 51.5 hours, of which I had 1 30 minute break to watch some of an act, other than that we weren’t allowed breaks as “streamline don’t do breaks as you are paid for them”

Hello Archie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience at Leeds Festival and appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback.
The shift lengths and break arrangements you’ve described are certainly not the experience we want our staff to have. We understand how frustrating and exhausting it must have been to work such long hours with limited rest, particularly with another lengthy shift starting shortly afterwards.
As the event is managed by the client on site, some of the operational decisions around shift extensions and breaks are outside of our direct control.
However, we absolutely take your feedback seriously and will raise these concerns with the client and relevant teams to ensure the issues around shift lengths, rest periods, and communication are addressed and do not happen again.
We’re pleased to hear that Eve was supportive throughout, and we’re sorry that the wider experience left you feeling this way.
Kind regards,
Ashleigh

Fun festival but hard work for minimum wage.
It was fun to work a festival but it definitely has it's pros and cons.
Working the bar can be fun but my experience was heavily dependent on the vibe given from the bar manager. Over the weekend of long road I was put mostly on bars with lovely managers but one shift was with one who didn't seem to really care about the staff and got annoyed at people if they did anything wrong when it was busy. I asked to move off this bar and arc were good and made it happen.
Festival shifts are long but you aren't guaranteed all your hours depending on the bar you're on. If the bar closes early or there aren't enough customers they will cut people's shifts short. I did an average of 2 hrs less than the shift given on ubeya.
Food is provided on shift in the form of breakfast in the morning, a packed lunch and a microwave meal. These were fine but definitely don't expect fine dining 🤣. Only problem with this is they run out of some things really quickly, there is supposed to be a chocolate bar but it seems these run out almost immediately and we suspected the stock guys were helping themselves to these meaning the staff missed out. I got one over the three days I was there!
Overall working was fine but if it weren't for the benefit of being at a festival I wouldn't be doing these kind of shifts anymore particularly for minimum wage.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback.
We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the festival and that Arc were able to accommodate your request to move bars.
We’re sorry to hear about your experience with one of the managers, as we expect all staff to be treated with professionalism and respect, particularly during busy periods.
Shift hours can vary depending on the operational needs of each bar, including customer demand and closing times, so the hours shown on Ubeya can sometimes change. We appreciate that this can be frustrating.
Thank you again for your honest feedback, and we hope to see you at another event in the future!

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
We understand your preference to work in the bar, however, temporary event work does require a degree of flexibility as staffing requirements can change depending on the needs of the event.
We appreciate that changes to your shifts may have been disappointing, but roles can be adjusted to ensure the event is adequately staffed. We’ll take your feedback on board and appreciate your understanding.
Kind regards,

Mostly all fun!
Overall the shifts were great, got breaks and food tokens, and the atmosphere was mostly all fun. I never got shouted at but I did witness someone else get shouted at by a manager in front of staff and customers over a minor mistake, which I thought was unprofessional. Also myself and lots of others turned up for our shifts on time to be told we had to wait 2 hours for the shift, in the rain and with no extra pay. Parking was always easy and all the staff across the festival were always happy to help with directions etc. It was also really good that we could request to be on the same bar as our friends.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry you received your shift confirmation so close to the start time, particularly given your travel distance.
However, our site teams do have to follow the event’s lateness policy, which means arriving after the scheduled start time can result in having to wait for the next available start time.
We appreciate your frustration and will take your feedback regarding the late confirmation on board.
Kind regards,
Ashleigh

I loved working the Open everything was just brilliant I met some truly amazing people. The Acr leadership are just simply the best Emma, Sarah and Chole I love them all they are all so helpful and answer queries super fast. I live local to the golf course however after a few long shifts and in the exceptional heart the 20min walk was starting to take its toll on me, I bought this to the attention of the leadership team who iv named above who arranged a parking pass for me. I tuck a week off my normal Job to work this and it was without a doubt worth every second of my annual leave. Without a shadow of a doubt I will most definitely be signing up to ever open am able to and booking the time off from my usual employment to ensure am available for every shift. Thanks so much to the Arc team for your constant support and dedication in ensuring all our needs are taken care of 5* plus from me

I found the higher arc management team…
I found the higher arc management team very helpful in terms of our welfare and well being. They always checked up on us during hard times and were very understanding of certain situations. Some times the abrupt shift time changes were frustrating, when I turned up for my original shift in time and got moved to a shift 5 hours later. I also found some of the bar managers on the busier bars not as emphatic and understanding towards the staff and our wellbeing. I think additional 5 minute breaks in the extremely hot and busy environment should have been enforced more. The bar managers should have trusted their staff more rather than always trying to catch us out which added to the emotional stress of the situation.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that you found the Arc management team supportive and attentive to your welfare, particularly during challenging periods.
We’re sorry to hear that the shift changes and your experiences with some bar managers added to the stress of what was already a demanding environment. The nature of temporary event work means that shift requirements can sometimes change at short notice due to client needs, which can unfortunately be outside of our control. We do understand, however, how disruptive this can be.
Your comments around breaks, communication and how staff are treated in busy and hot environments are important, and we’ll take this feedback on board with our management teams. We want everyone working with us to feel supported, trusted and able to raise concerns when needed.
Thank you again for your honest feedback and for recognising the efforts of the wider management team.
