Pros

Camaderie of fellow staff Easy work

Cons

I have been forced into having to accept my hours being changed against my will due to alignment of hours. Doesn’t matter that these were hours agreed at the start of your job, they don’t care. The Simpler Shops program has been a disaster, a mixture of cost cutting and losing staff so there are even less people available to get the tasks done. Our pay is very low, literally the lowest in the supermarket sector , and there is no more bonus or pay for performance, and the lowest level employees (no longer partners) are no longer even able to buy extra holiday. The work is monotonous, and if you have the misfortune to work overnight there’s no heating either.
