Pros

Great place to work as a student, good perks (partner bonus especially), and generally friendly management. flexible hours/good shift patterns. Good opportunities for development for those who wish to stay in retail.

Cons

Management structure can often be over crowded with the number of SMs ASM's and DM's in larger stores (My store had 15-20 managers) managers could be very cliquey sometimes and definitely had favourites. Some managers also looked down on lower staff. The work in operations is also very monotonous, during the interview stages they sell the position as being very varied and diverse, but the reality of the position is just reductions and audits. It pays well for what it is though.

Pros

- Great place to work for students. - Good pay compared to other leading supermarkets, plus the glorious bonus in March, normally around 15% of yearly earnings. Pretty handy for students funding summers abroad. - General nice atmosphere among employees, again compared with other supermarket workers and a general bitterness is felt sometimes.

Cons

- Team leaders and managers tend to be people who have worked there the longest, not the best people. - Managers sometimes expect very long hours over busy periods e.g. Christmas.
