Pros
Meet different workplaces. Reasonable pay rate.
Cons
Unfortunately, Your shift will not be consistent. Hard to know when will you get a job offered.
Disorganized, uncaring machine of a company
Food and Beverage Attendant (Former Employee) – Australian Capital Territory – 15 October 2018
I have had numerous experiences where shifts have been offered or cancelled at the last minute. The majority of work is made available less than 2 hours before the start time. On many occasions I have been required to arrive at least half an hour before the start of a shift, only to find I was not to be paid for that time, and management had not yet showed up.
Pros
'Flexible' Shift arragements
Cons
Long hours, Little-no benefits, poor staff quality

F&B Attendant (Former Employee) – Canberra ACT – 22 August 2018
The management is very strange. They only sent shifts to new staffs in the first few months. Then you would be hard to get a shift. Even your friend told you they are busy and you call the office for a shift, you wouldn't get it. After you spent money to buy uniforms (pants, black shirt, white shirt, vest), name badge, shoes. You would find out it is a waste of time and money.
The office staffs are rude.
They do not acknowledge staffs' effort.

one on my best experiences is working with them
Waitress (Former Employee) – Perth WA – 18 December 2018
I worked for this hospitality agency at Australia they usually gave me a few shifts each week and because of high minimum wages which was 23.5 per hour I could earn enough money to pay for me rent. The best thing about them was that they sent us to different places and this made working fun.
Definitely recommend
General Hand (Former Employee) – Adelaide SA – 8 January 2019
I worked for them during the ten days of the Royal Show, all staff were friendly, positive and enthusiastic, the people i worked with were all great too pnly problem was the early starts abd having to get up at 4:30am for the morning shift because public transport sucks. Overall though i loved the job and the people i worked with 10/10 would recommend.
Pros
Understanding, enthusiastic, flexible
Cons
Early starts you definitely need a car!
Pinnacle People.
Hospitality supervisor (Former Employee) – Melbourne VIC – 3 January 2019
Varied roles to choose from and every shift is different- no two days the same. Each role has it challenges such multi-tasking and thinking quick on your feet, dealing with demanding customers but nothing I couldn't handle.
Pros
Variety of jobs to choose from.
Cons
Late night hours.
Best Employer
Food and Beverage Attendant/Barista (Current Employee) – Sydney NSW – 11 January 2019
Everyday with Pinnacle People is a new learning day. As I am a casual staff there I got an opportunity to work with a very big organization like ICC Sydney as well as big hotels like The Start, Hyatt Regency, Sofitel, Pier one and lots of restaurant in the city. working in different places gave me an exposer to boost my knowledge in the hospitality industry as well as always meeting new people. I have experienced a lot and I am now evolved waitress due to being part of pinnacle people.
Pros
Always New Day to learn something more
Cons
I was casual so I could not get more shifts.
Okay money but a very transactional work culture

Independent Hospitality Contractor (Former Employee) – Brisbane QLD – 4 October 2018
Coming into each week you would send in your availability for the next week. Depending on the client and the venue the work could be very straightforward and organised or a bit chaotic and stressful. There was generally lots of opportunity for shifts and the freedom to choose contracts to a degree was great.
Occasional good opportunity’s, managers don’t cars for employees safety
Brand Ambassador (Former Employee) – South Adelaide SA – 26 June 2018
Honestly I’ve never been so disgusted with how this company reacts to someone who is sick (in hospital sick) they don’t care if your dying as long as you rock up.
Pros
Meeting awesome people
Cons
Management

Unreliable shifts
Customer Service Representative (Casual) (Current Employee) – Melbourne VIC – 31 January 2018
Shift may cancel sometime, wages are good but as it is a casual staffing firm so even you may left without any shift in a week. People working in the office are rude if you will cancel any shift prior to the starting.
Pros
good wages
Cons
long hours
Excellent company with incredible people

Great place to work at and opportunity to build new skills
Food and Beverage Attendant (Current Employee) – Sydney NSW – 4 February 2018
By working for Pinnacle, I had the opportunity to work for many client sites, from working at Stadiums & arenas as retail employee and being a food & beverage/kitchen hand at 5 star hotels. Great place to work at as your first job, mainly while doing studying to get a bit of income, but it wouldn't able to last long as shifts are not consistent each week. Shifts usually occurs 1-2 days per week, sometimes none and sometimes if busy, 3-4. Usually for agency staff, clients tend to send us home earlier as per your required shift finishing time.
Pros
Opportunity to work at many client sites, build up hospitality skills.
Cons
Shifts are not consistent.
