Pros

Nice customers & some nice staff. There generally were very little pros, as staff are entitled to a 15% discount, but customers can get 10% anyway. I wouldn't have really wanted a better discount, as the food is a terrible quality.

Cons

Farmfoods was generally poorly organised with bad management. There was far too much pressure placed on everyone, expecting you to do 3 jobs at once. Management had no respect for more junior staff. Rotas constantly changed last minute ( sometimes on the day of the shift). Additionally, management seemed to think I would be my minimum wage job before my studying, as they didn't have enough staff to cover the rota if staff were ill or on holiday.

Pros

15% discount Nothing else is a pro

Cons

Micro management I’ve never experienced in 10 years of retail management. They’re living in the stone ages in terms of technology. Hourly staff get paid to 15 mins so upper management will try and shaft your pay in the name of prod, no clock in/out machine so you’re reliant on managers clocking you accurately. Everything they do is just weird and backwards. They don’t believe in employee law, 11 hour rest period being the big one.
