      Pros

      They pay for just scanning a bunch of items was pretty good. Also food in the staff canteen was a pretty reasonable price. Great people to work with, very chatty bunch of people, night outs were great, cheap and the company provided the location which was also a great place

      Cons

      Hours weren't the best, not a lot of availability for overtime, managers could be a bit nasty.

      Pros

      The largest benefit is that all shifts for each week are the same so that you always know when you work, with overtime being easy to pick up if needed/wanted. The staff discount is also a bonus as, with this being both the nearest supermarket to my home as well as my place of work it feels like i'm getting something back, so to speak, from all the shopping that I do in the store. I have recommended working here to others, including my sister who is currently waiting for an interview.

      Cons

      It can be quite a challenge to speak to the head of department, or there can be communication issues between shift managers. an example of this is that, as a seasonal member of staff I was informed after Christmas not to work, then told I could do overtime shifts, then was informed by a shift manager that I should have been doing my designated shift, but had never been informed of it previously. Another issue I have is that the office staff leave quite early on in the day so if you work mostly evenings like myself it is difficult to get in touch with them for things such as new uniform, or in my fellow colleagues case, arranging things for her pregnancy such as clothing, as hers no longer fits her.

      Pros

      Really enjoy chatting to customers, get a good few laughs! Never met a rude member of staff, everyone friendly and easy to talk to, easy to sit with people in the cantine. Staff cantine very cheap. "Career breaks" are given for any reasonable time off which you require. 20% staff discount days "double discount" days are very much looked forward to. Good communication of store events and feedback on how the store is performing is always nice to know. Always plenty of overtime available if needed- yet not forced or made to feel bad if unavailable. Always made to feel like an individual and not forgotten about by manager.

      Cons

      Training was very general and time consuming- although necessary. Must remember to swipe in and out of shifts and for lunch. Very occasionally difficult customers, but always supported by runners/ managers. Long shifts can be tiring. Lifting heavy items are difficult.
