Pros

10% staff discount on grocery purchases excluding fuel, & tobacco and a perks card for money off at restaurants, hotels & family days out.

Cons

Minimum wage, expected to be jack of all trades but master of none, not flexible at all, not family oriented at all, had to leave work to take sick child to hospital and was given a warning. They refuse to sell the lottery as its classed as gambling and goes against their Christian values yet expect their staff to work every Sunday 7-11. And if you want Xmas day off (the only day of the year they close) u have to use one of your holiday days?!? Awful company to work for!

Pros

The team were nice, managers of subway it is linked to were helpful with resolving problems.

Cons

Underpaid by £100 2 months in a row, threw up at work twice and was sworn at when announcing I was leaving. The next day I called in sick, which they knew I was. I got told I was "refusing to come in" so my pay was threatened, I was sworn at because my manager "couldn't be asked with this". Worst employment I've had.

Deli assistant at Eurospar Ireland. Employer puts employees under pressure with no rewards in return.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good quality food for sale. Convenient location. Provide clean deli aprons every day.

Cons

Employees treated like machines- too much work load and when a person stays late to finish it they are not paid for the work they do. No discounts on food. Managers don't manage the supervisors. The supervisors cut corners when it comes food safety documentation.
