Waitrose reviews

Over worked Undervalued Even if you work extra every shift-(sometimes hrs) you will be pulled up for being five minutes late for one. No progression available due to business cuts and bad management Knowledge, skill, dedication, hard work, all over looked. Be prepared to be told how to wear your hair (has to be up unless above shoulders-or a manager) your make up (has to be natural) jewellery if allowed at all is not to be classed as “garish”, no hooped earrings. Only grow a beard to the right length on your holidays (don’t expect to see your family’s at Christmas or Easter, they’re blocked off and no time off is allowed) No nail anything- not even a clear coat to protect your nails from damage, expect a disciplinary if you break any of these rules more than once. (But you will get told how to always be your self) They’ll watch you on cctv. There is no “we not me” with management and partners. It’s them and us. A general office is general but they will gossip and go silent when you walk in and managers domineer the computers as their space. Don’t expect them to get hands on with any work- even if your drowning and their poor planning is to blame. You can try more and take on extra tasks, don’t expect a thank you or a pay increase for the extra responsibilities. The warehouse is filthy, cleaning area the worst, thick with grime.

Poor pay, poor management, poor working practices, lack of appreciation for hard work, company administration is a mess. Wrong contracts sent out, not paid correctly and issue not resolved by manager, items stolen at work. Worst company I've ever worked for. I had more issues with pay and contracts in 3 months at Waitrose than I have in a working career spanning 30+ years.
