Pros

- Ability to transfer between departments and other stores. - Some opportunities to progress to section leader.

Cons

- Low wage, and same wage no matter which job you do (people sat on a checkout get same wage as warehouse staff using forklifts etc or delivery drivers) - Expected to work 'fair share' of overtime, which ends up being everyone working 6 days a week, up to 15 hours per shift. - Section leaders are pushed too hard and have responsibilities way beyond their pay. - Zero appreciation. - Not enough staff, and not replacing staff who have left. - Not enough equipment, which is outdated and regularly broken

Pros

Caring & Compassionate treatment of Employees at all times with good on the job training and plenty of scope for future Job Development

Cons

Unfortunately the management don't seem to understand that in order to retain the services of the Drivers that you have invested a lot of money in via Extended training you need to pay them the going rate for the job (ie the same as other supermarkets) other wise as soon as they beeen trained they move to other supermarkets
