Pros

The pay is okay and benefits are really good, discount in waitrose is 15% and john lewis is 35% and other discounts with the card. Usually, long running staff that have been there forever, which means they know the company well and can comfort you on their own knowledge to progress.

Cons

Once the budget is spent for the year the company get last with enrolling new staff or cant afford new staff to help even if there isn't enough to cover a shift. There is a lot of 16-18 year olds trying to run the shop. Needs more supervisors than one especially if something is to go wrong, customers are waiting to have authorisation of alcohol with staff being so young. Modern Waitrose isn't working you will only stay in your section unless you are bored.
