Pros

It was easy to swap shifts with colleagues and book holidays off in advance. I was able to stack all my holidays together there was no big issue with that. They also provide uniform which include steel toe capped shoes. Received Christmas shopping vouchers as well as an end of year bonus. Good training provided through the online learning portal.

Cons

Poor management. Closing the store was really ling as the organisation was poor. The supervisors would rarely pull their weight which meant we all had to stay overtime for most shifts especially the weekends. We were expected to track down shop lifters and confront them. Which is highly dangerous as one of my collueges were attacked by a thief, and got a black eye. Loads of gossip and people not pulling their slack resulting in poor teamwork.

Pros

Get a card given to you for 15% discount on your farmfoods shopping and also 1 card for a family member to use. Great cafeteria will never go hungry or thirsty. Nice staff members and management

Cons

Biggest con is the trailer is never packed in the order which you need to deliver so you have unload whole trailer most times to get to your first drops products and needing to unload whole trailer to get to the freezer and then obviously having to re-reload whole trailer numerous times throughout your shift and also 9/10 there are no electric pum trucks to use so very hard labour with the size of crates and pallets that you need to unload and also very slippery and dangerous when in bad weather conditions I was injured a few times. Although you are told there isn't that much handball I can assure you it's full handball and is back breaking work everyday, everyone knows and expects to have to move yourself and put in some effort but to be blunt it's a joke they could atleast load the trailer in order of routes and drop-off locations but even still you would have to unload it just to get to the freezer!!! And they should makesure there are electric pum trucks to make it somewhat easier for the driver. All in all TOO much handball and backbreaking heavy lifting for the rate amount they pay which is in-between £13.42 and £16.68. Also not allowed to leave cafeteria with any of the food or drink items provided for staff.
