      A pretty hateful place to work

      Deputy store manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salary isn’t too bad and you have good opportunities to move forward.

      Cons

      Working hours. 5am starts. High pressure constantly. Working practices change every month or with every new area manager. Terrible communication in store. Training implementation virtually non existent. In-store support from area managers could be much better. More carrot, less stick.

      Pros

      Good pay for the retail industry, friendly collegues, 10% staff discount from day one.

      Cons

      The store is staffed at the minimum level yet expect staff to perform double the work. Management seem to expect somebody who has been with the company six weeks to be at the same level of ability as somebody who has been there six years. Management are quick to tell you when you have messed up but slow to tell you when you have done well. Large amounts of fruit and veg is wasted as more is ordered then will ever be sold.
