Pros

I am the wife of a store manager for Farmfoods, I am writing this review from a different perspective although from knowledge and history Farmfoods will not respond. The pros, money is ok but could be better for the high workloads, staff discount, flexiable working hours to fit around you

Cons

One on one all day and night, area managers unprofessional in their approach and manner, as a Store Manager you are expected to work through your break or not permitted to leave the store on your unpaid time and/or you can sit in your car in the car park. Due to staff constantly being cut you are working ridiculously long hours unpaid as a Store Mabsger however they will pay someone else to cover the store total madness!!! Leave home st 5.30am and don't get home until 9.30pm because you have no support from anywhere including your area manager to cover staff shortages. Loads of theft but still no security cameras put in place this includes robberies in store yet staff safety is not paramount to Farmfoods. Store manager held accountable for everything even when they are on holiday if something goes wrong. If you want no life join Farmfoids as you will stop seeing your family and move into the store you are managing . The constant cutting of staff makes the team insecure and leaves them pondering store closures

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.
