Since working for Arc April 2022
I recently started working with Arc;
The induction session was interesting and lead by a team member who had great energy and got straight to the point. Since working my shifts, I’ve been happy with the professionalism and standards held for all staff and the venues that are available. The team behind the scenes are always happy to help with my questions and concerns and are patient and friendly.

Communication
I have tried to communicate through the chat function and received no reply for a couple days . So maybe have a bit more people able to give out necessary information needed. Need quicker response to shifts being accepted especially when I’ve booked in advance

Not easy to get some shifts
I found Arc very hard to get some shifts. I applied for five shifts in one week and none of them were approved. A lot of cancellation around Christmas time. The only shift I got recently was in O2. The shift was well organised and the job was easy to learn.

Hi Radka,
Thank you for leaving this review. Due to the high volume of people applying for roles, they are often booked up quite quickly. We try to allocate them fairly but sometimes have to choose the people with more experience in a certain venue.
Due to the nature of the industry, some shifts are changed last minute. Last Christmas in particular had many cancellations due to Covid restrictions and venues being cautious.
If you would like to discuss your feedback in more detail, please don't hesitate to contact our Welfare Manager, Sarah via sarahharrison@wearearc.co.uk

Maddie - Marketing Manager
Best thing I ever did was join the Arc team 😊
When I joined Arc over 6 months ago now I didn’t know what to expect has being in my late forties I didn’t know whether it would be for me but I can honestly say now it’s the best decision I made. With Arc you get the chance to work at some great venues and meet lots of new people who have now become good friends. All the mangers and office staff in the Liverpool office are always there for you if you need them and will always go out of their way to make sure that you are happy with your role in your chosen workplace. I would highly recommend Arc to anyone because you will not be disappointed.

Very bad experience
Very bad experience. Never used to get any shifts to work even though I have applied to all the available shift. It very pathetic that I got only 2 shift in an entire month to work. Also even if we get any shift booked in they book us out at the last moment. We would have planned or cancelled all our schedules just to work for the shift and we are booked out at the last moment which is disappointing.

Hi Srikanth,
We're sorry to see you haven't enjoyed your experience so far. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a certain amount of shifts or hours. Shifts are booked on a first-come-first-served basis and in quieter periods there can be more applications for a shift than there are roles available.
We can only apologise for these inconveniences and thank you for your patience in these situations.

Working For arc.my experience.
Hi I've been working with arc, for just over half a year.i find them good,pleasent managers.ive been paid on time,and correctly.because Cheltenham racehorse paid a days training for me to be waiter trained.ive been asked to go back to the same suite all the time when I go back.because I've been told by the manager at owner's and trainers suite that I'm good enough to work there.its frustrating because when I got my job card for the festival in march it said bar work.the manager knows I'm waiter trained.so I had to speak to them at Cheltenham at the back quires where you get scanned in and they changed it.its just alot of hassle explaining it to all over to them.

I understand that people get shifts on first come first serve basis but even if I apply for the shift within 5 mins of release, I don’t get them. By chance if I get a shift, it gets cancelled at the 11th moment!!

Hi Ashutosh,
We're sorry to hear you have issues being accepted onto shifts. This can sometimes happen when we have more Team Members applying for roles than we have roles on offer. We often have to allocate people with more experience at certain venues. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a certain amount of hours or shifts.

Transparency in payroll process…
The staff are definitely friendly and do help you out if you have any small isuees in terms of not being able to make it to a shift or need uniform.
What needs to be improved is Arc's payroll process -needs a lot of transparency. The pay is monthly as opposed to weekly by many other gig agencies.
While the monthly pay is not too much of an issue, the problem arises when it becomes difficult to verify if you've been paid correctly and for which shift you have not been paid accurately. Neither the payslip not the app is helpful to verify this.
The payslip is sum total of the hours worked, making it hard to identify for which shift there is a pay issue and in the app the pay information is never correct. The shifts worked and pay for each shift can never be viewed, when you contact staff regarding it staff say app glitch.
This makes it very hard to trust arc and there is always an air of mystery on how we get paid. As an employee I do not trust that arc will pay me fairly as there is always a difference in pay. I myself and some of my friends have experienced differences in pay and it's been hard to get in touch with someone to resolve it.
The ubeya app needs work, especially the pay compensation. The app currently reflects that payroll process in arc is not structured, unorganized with a hint of deception. Other gig apps like hap are extremely transparent with their pay which reflects professionalism and trust in the company that workers will get fairly compensated.
Another issue I have with them is the lack of shifts in my city.
There never seems to be much shifts available in Glasgow compared to shifts in Edinburgh which essentially means no work is available for you.

Hi Isha,
Thank you for leaving such detailed and constructive feedback. We're sorry to hear you have had issues with your pay on occasion. We are working on ways to improve the transparency of the pay process for our Team Members, having recently improved the income section on Ubeya to show more accurate predicted pay.
I'd be keen to discuss your issues and ideas for improvement in more detail if that would be helpful to you? You can contact me directly via maddiemilton@wearearc.co.uk.
Thanks again for your feedback,

Payment scheme
It is hard to measure my latest experience when I have been working for weeks without payments. These plataform doesn't offer fulltime jobs which makes it pivotal to have a better paying scheme for employees to sustain themselves with at least two week payments.

Hi Gracia,
Thank you for leaving this review. Our pay is monthly due to the high volume of Team Members we have on our system. However, we are considering alternative options for the future and will circulate any updates with our Team.
We always explain to candidates upon their appointment that the work is part-time and flexible. We cannot guarantee full-time hours due to the nature of work on offer. Most people find the flexibility great as it means they are not obligated to work certain days or hours if they do not want to.
If you have a pay query I would urge you to contact your local hub via the relevant email below. They will investigate any issues for you.

The app is no good
The app is no good. Creates a lot of confusion. Managers are very patient and kind to sort the issues though. Please stick to the time allotted and not overwork the employees and transport provided would help more. Please understand genuine reasons of not being able to show up and not count it as a strike.

Hi Irene,
Thank you for leaving this review. We are always keen to receive constructive feedback.
We are working with our app providers to improve the experience for our Team Members. Recent changes include a calendar for visibility on upcoming shifts and an income section that allows you to view how much you are expected to earn each payday.
Unfortunately, shift timings are always approximate as we cannot predict shift length in advance due to potential client on-site changes, such as extra time at a football match.
We appreciate that sometimes things happen which mean you cannot attend a shift. This is why we have a 3 strike policy for fail-to-shows and always try to be understanding of individual circumstances, so you can continue working with us for as long as you would like to.
If you would like to discuss your feedback in more detail please don't hesitate to contact me directly via maddiemilton@wearearc.co.uk. Our People Welfare Manager and I would be happy to listen to your ideas for improvement.
Thanks for being part of Team Arc!
