Complaint Review: No Stress Entertainment - Paphos Pafos

Avoid these idiots and do not work for them!! Absolutely unprofessional and a shambles, fake company... STAY AWAY!!!

Where do i begin...

Firstly i seen an adverstisement online for the vacancy for an entertainer. The next day after applying for this i receieved a phone call from a woman called 'Becky'. Who seemed very ncie on the phone, and iw as basically offered the job there and then which i thought was a bit strange at first but i did not question it as i really wanted to work away for the winter, as i had just finished a working summer season. After the phone call she asked me if i had any questions, so i asked her to tell me more a bout the position, to which she replied "Like what? What more do you want to know". After she said that i was a little taken aback by her attitude, as surely she should know more about the position than just my job role and what hotel i would be in, so that made me feel a bit uneasy.

I then asked her for the contract and she said it was "with my lawyers" being confirmed and all other excuses. So she basically said she would send it in a few days. I finally recieved the contract and wow where do i start... the first thing that raised concern to me was the absolute abismal spelling mistakes and primary school grammar. Absolutely shocking and it was obvious Becky just freehandedly typed this "contract" up on word document because i asked her for it. For something that was in the lawyers hands etc... Surely that would be the first thing to fix... the mistakes and poor grammar? The contract made no sense whatsoever, just a bunch of words that did no bind together well at all.

Becky then asked me to to send any videos of photos og my previous experience as an entertainer etc so did, at this point she then texted me on my personal number and was so unproffesional. She texted things like "haha my kids loved those vids xx" and prior to this she was texting me saying how good the food was at the hotel and her all round attitude towards the whole matter was jsut very unprofessional, but i still took the chance and flew out there to give it a go. 

So i basically arrived into Paphos the following week and i was left waiting at the airport for 30 mins, as Becky was no there on arrival, even though she knew my flight time. When she did finally turn up in her small banger of a car, she told me that before we went to the hotel, she had to pick up her kids from school. At this point i was a bit like okay... this doesnt seem professional but whatever. Then she left me in the car for 10 minutes then came back with her kids, so all of us and her kids went to the hotel to drop me off. At this point i met her Husband (the manager of No stress) called Alfiredo, who greeted me and shown me to my hotel room.

We was told we would be staying in a hotel room for a night because we was all new staff and they wanted us to settle in on our first night and have our own space which was nice of them. I think we must of spent 3 nights in the hotel because our apartment "was not clean and ready". So the day came when we finally moved into the new apartment, when me and the other entertainers arrived we was disbelief at the uncleanliness of the place. Alfriedo and Becky has clearly just done a whip round and removed any rubbish and hadnt actually bothered to get proper cleaners in. There was mould in the bathroom COVERING the ceiling which was vile. It also smelt like mould, and when i looked in my wardrobe there was someone elses dirty clothes AND shoes in there. It was absolutely disgusting and none of us bothered to unpack until we cleaned it ourselves!!

The job itself was fine, the hotel was amazing, the guests were great and the food etc... The only problem for me and the other entertainers was both becky an Alfreido as people. They were so unprofessional, no oganisation whatsoever! We would have "meetings" after work every single night with Alfriedo talking absolute rubbish to us, we all just wanted to leav and go home and did not care what he had to say because he would be DRUNK from drinking all night. He drank every day and was a vile person to work for, also Becky his scheming witch of a wife was an absolute joke.

She would argue in front of us with Alfriedo and they was always concerned about who we spoke to within the hotel, as the last entertainment team before us apparently all got fired. We wasnt aloud to speak to any of the staff because Alfriedo was an absolute control freak and paranoid, but we still spoke to whoever we pleased anyway. The both of them are diluded and are running a fake company that probably isnt even registered or legal. How the hotel manager is unaware of his scam is beyond me. 

Me and the other 2 new entertainers all lived in the same apartment, and we basically decided to just leave at the same time, we all just had enough of his lies and unprofessional manner. Alfriedo and Becky would constantly be on our case and wouldnt leave us alone, they was always paranoid that we had something to say and we actually did, but it was not worth their time because they wouldnt listen anyway. I have never worked for such unprofessional and dillusional people. We was also told we would get paid by cheque, and apparently the one guy that was "kept on" from the old entertainment team wasnt even getting paid (yet he still stayed there like a mug).

The basic knowledge of 'No Stress Entertainment' is that both Becky and Alfriedo have both made this "new" company to hide the fact that the other company they had did not have good reviews. This company was 'Funtastic' so i believe that they have purposely made up a name 'No Stress' and decided that that is the new company they are going to employ with. I also must add that "No Stress Entertainment' started the day we all started working, it was brand new. It is so obvious that they have just made this to try and cover up the unprofessionalism of 'Funtastic' which Alfriedo's brother now runs. Its all a massive SCAM and i doubt "No stress Entertainment' is even legal !!!!!

So me and the other 2 new entertainers that started at the same time, all decided just just leave and make a run for it while we could!! prior to this we had another meeting with both Becky and Alfriedo fishing for thoughts from all of us again, asking if everything is okay because they knew how we felt about the whole lack of organisation and them as people. But we just all sat there and said there wasnt any problems, becaus eby this point we all know that we was going to leave. So that night the 3 of us all packed our things and legged it!!!! I have never had to do that in my life, and for 3 of us to all feel the exact same way about them and the way they ran things, must be saying something and alarm bells ringing!
