      Pros

      Nice customers & some nice staff. There generally were very little pros, as staff are entitled to a 15% discount, but customers can get 10% anyway. I wouldn't have really wanted a better discount, as the food is a terrible quality.

      Cons

      Farmfoods was generally poorly organised with bad management. There was far too much pressure placed on everyone, expecting you to do 3 jobs at once. Management had no respect for more junior staff. Rotas constantly changed last minute ( sometimes on the day of the shift). Additionally, management seemed to think I would be my minimum wage job before my studying, as they didn't have enough staff to cover the rota if staff were ill or on holiday.

      Pros

      The company has great values, customer service being the best, which I also pride myself with, and an excellent basic training programme. The company has a quick turn around with things like ordering and delivering, and getting issues resolved as the in store team we don't have to go through a lot of stages to get to the right people.

      Cons

      The pay isn't great, and feel that the company isn't developing there team to take the next step. A lot of excellent potential management however not given the resources or knowledge to take the next step.

      Pros

      - Staff Discount is good if you're older and would be doing shopping there frequently. - Flexible; the store I work in would be willing to change any shift to fit a specific schedule e.g. college, other job commitments and general social plans if you give them more than one days notice. - The staff; in my store are all young and lovely to be around. Overall they have a good attitude towards work which is difficult in such a dull job. - Weekly pay - Lovely customers overall - Training process is solid

      Cons

      Generally the company is a mess. Understaffed, staff are always leaving which means there are commonly periods of which we are extremely understaffed. Management is difficult to come by - I've worked in the company for about 7 months and when i started there were no managers, just 4 supervisors who all didn't care about the job. We then got a manager who was awful and caused the store to go downhill. Since then we've not had a manager. - I've worked so many hours unpaid. Every week I stay late and do not get paid for it. - The pay is a joke. £4.30 an hour. I question why I get out of bed every morning to work for so little.
