Pros

Strong brand culture. Excellent benefit package with John Lewis discount, various subsidies, clubs, hotels and golf courses, pension still good. Waitrose discount brings prices to level of other supermarkets.

Cons

Very little movement means opportunities for promotion are rare, and not enough experience of the world away from Waitrose. The best way to progress is to leave. JLP can be cultish, and the democracy structure masks lack of empowerment of Partners.
