Pros

Step up programme available for colleagues that want to progress in the company. 10 percent discount and 20 percent on a day near Christmas. To some extent you get left alone to get on with your job which is quite nice. Flexible for contract change - I was allowed to go seasonal when I started university and the hours were good. Pay isn't so bad for a supermarket. Hard working colleagues rewarded with a gold star on the wall and a free lunch party - although if this falls on your day off you either come in for it or don't get one.

Cons

Step up programme is a long process. Managers have favourites. Bitchiness among staff, playground atmosphere - managers not very discreet, some not even approachable. Not many incentives, staff Christmas party very low budget, Christmas bonus is poor considering how much the store makes. Staff aren't particularly valued in my opinion. Training could also be a lot better, some staff given very minimal training and then told off for being slow or making mistakes.
