Pros

The only good thing I can think of is the discount you get for Waitrose and John Lewis.

Cons

The management are a bunch of bullies and I've never seen a company with such lack of care for their staff. I was sworn at, interrogated, lied to and they treat me like absolute dirt. I put in a lot of hours considering I was only part time and any overtime I did I was never paid for. The management don't give a damn about paying you either, I was underpaid for the full 6 months I worked there and even though every week I told them I'd just get a 'I'll pass it on to so and so' and nothing would ever get done. They also back-stab you and give you no chance to finish your work. I used to come in to work and they'd call me down to the warehouse and say "5 cages, 1 hour...GO!" baring in mind these cages were taller than me and the items were spread out all over the store. The most I could get out in 1 hour was 3 huge cages and then they'd shout at you right in your personal space. I've never felt so low in all my life. Running around for them like a sport on minimum wage whilst they did nothing and then work pull you in a corner and scream at you. Please, I advice anyone who wants to keep their sanity to NEVER work for Waitrose in Peterborough. Me leaving was the best thing that's ever happened to me.
