Got offered a job as a cashier. Not a big deal, but will I likely have to work all 52 Saturdays of the year? I'd at least like to still be able to go to the football once a month or so on a Saturday...
I worked for Ladbrokes many years ago and Saturdays off were very rare (which is understandable as it is by far the busiest day of the week, betting wise). One Saturday a month off? Well unless things have changed to any great extent over the years, I think you'll be lucky.
My sister worked for them recently and she didn't really get much of a say as to when her shifts were to be honest. You'll probably find you'll have to work many Saturdays.
Ah shoot. The job is full-time right enough so I can save up some cash for Uni next year, I'm clinging to the hope they might give me the odd Saturday off since the part-timers seem to take these jobs for the extra weekend work.
I would expect you may get 1 saturday off a month may be even 2
But people are right...in that the weekends are often the busier periods for any bookie
But whether you work for W Hill, Corals or Ladbrokes...you will get some Saturdays off...and dont forget Annual leave!!!
I imagine you'll have 20 days off a year too (standard)
My brother works at a bookie...and he says its soo easy and chilled but can be a bit boring at times (although i guess if its only a year or so, you can handle that)
