Pros

Good pay, good progression for those willing to work 60+ hours a week with no complaints, can travel across country

Cons

Was told it would be no more than 48hours when joined, any work you work over that would be paid back in time back. Worked a minimum of 55 hours every week and never seen any time back or extra pay. when I Left owed over 100 hours and didn't see any extra. Be prepared to work endless hours for the pay you earn. very much a culture of don't leave until everythings finshed. Countless shifts from 11am to 2,3am to be back in at 6 next morning

Pros

Cons

2:1 degree needed to progress further than store manager level. 48 hour management contract can make work / life balance a struggle.

Pros

Reasonable pay compared to other supermarkets. Monthly bonuses available if you hit your productivity target which can vary depending on how your store did.

Cons

Very poor structure to your working day. Due to the way the company runs its productivity, you are constantly firefighting all day to get the job done. Also the amount of special buys continually coming in to the warehouse and blocking it up makes the day to day job very difficult. At Christmas fresh food deliveries were put on the shop floor for customers to try and get by pallets of stock. Chilled products were not put into the chiller as there is not enough room. No breaks really you just eat when you can and crack on! When it is busy all the staff are on the tills leaving the shop floor to look like a pigsty and then you are forever playing catchup! You all have to chase shoplifters out of the shop and do whatever it takes to get them back in the shop. Come in for meetings on you day off!
