The Kraft Group

What is the best part of working at the company?
As a premium bartender. Very long day.  Cut throat business  not welcoming to the new staff. 
It can be fun. And you can make some money.  About 10% tip money. Which is good for stadium tipping because the drinks are so expensive.  
You do get an hourly rate of $15 per hour.  They give you an employee meal. 16 hours of paid time off. You have to work 20 mandatory shifts.  Concerts, 3 revolution games and all home football games. 
 It’s a fun environment. 


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part is the staff that has been there may treat you badly if you are new.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Can be a fun place to work.  It’s not as fast paced as a bar at a club or restaurant.  There’s a lot of set up and breakdown! 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Park in employee parking, shuttled to stadium.  Check in at uniform room, assigned your station. 
Average of 4 hours to set up your bar. Includes inventory and setting up all bar wells. About an hour of down time then gates open. Bars shut down about an hour before the event gets out.

The good is that on occasion you get to watch part of a game or a concert for free. The con is that on occasion you have to work in miserable weather.

You typically have to report to work hours before the event and you don't leave for an hour or two after the event and so you have hours of hanging around doing nothing but at the same time your getting paid. 

There is almost always an opportunity to work extra hours either at the stadium or at a college game or event. But it is first come first serve and you might have a few hundred workers vying for a handful of jobs so you have to keep in touch and be able to respond quickly.

Applicants beware!

The Kraft Group/Gillette Stadium might sound amazing because of the name and fame, but it is one of the WORST places to work. PTO is non-existent - you start with only 5 days of vacation (not including what is required by MA), compensation is below average, and the culture empowers favoritism and disrespect. Departments are extremely clicky, so you better conform - its very clear who is favored/liked vs who isnt. The culture also encourages overtime rather than just paying their employees a livable wage. It makes me so sad how many good people get trapped under the guise of working for Gillette - it's not worth it!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Free food from draft kings. The company doesnt listen to word you say so dont waist your breath

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Just dont switch your shifts for anyone because no one protects you and you will get fired for not showing up to work even though you are there

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Enviroment is great but no one matters except the patriots

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You will be working 11-15 hours shifts with no lunch break or any breaks. You need to take the break or you wont get one

There is a lot of different ways that you can be utilzed as a team ops member working at Gillette Stadium for the various events. The only negative thing about the job is that sometimes you can be standing in the coldest of weather for nearly half of the day and yet minimum wage is what the starting pay is. Also required to quickly do bag checks at entrances to make sure nobody brings things in that are prohibited, it is quick paced, can be stressful because of the guests coming into the Stadium who get jittery while in line, but then it can be relaxed also as there is not much going on someitmes and you have to fight the weather. DRESS ACCORDINGLY!

They treat you fairly and respectfully.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not having more opportunities to work.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Awesome, I loved the people there. Everybody was extremely helpful and friendly.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I would come in and we would have steam meeting and go over assignments. Then I would go out and greet people arriving in their vehicles and direct them towards their parking area to the best of my ability.

I always look forward to come to work. I liked my job to a certain extent and if I had the chance to come back to work I would. Even as a ticket taker go back in the parking lot weather never bothers me. Went to time just dress warm and do your thing. I never missed any occasions or events. I find the Kraft group very good. And understanding and if I had the chance to return to work I would and thank you for your time and your courtesy have a wonderful day. And be safe. VIP 2015

The low moral was actually a product of poor management.  My last manager had little to no people skills and knew very little overall management skills.  She was a dude in communication skills and personnel appearance. I do not make these remarks lightly.  In my career, which lasted over thirty years I was someone who supervised people from all categories of jobs descriptions.  For fifteen years I taught at the college level all types of business courses, include several different management titles
