Waitrose reviews

Extremely inconsistent breaks between employees (deliberate due to hour structuring) Poor branch management Training almost non existent (relying on other staff to ad-hoc teach you) Difficulty booking holidays at times Inability to appropriately schedule overtime - regularly asked to 'add hours' at end of shifts rather than simply sign up to shifts with ability to plan Upward mobility difficult without full time role & very good relationship with managers No floor staff suggestions listened to

As a lot of places now staff are spread too thin. They expect a high level of service still even though there isn't the staff. This is unfair on the staff and customers. They need to think this through. For me I still get the perks as I have been there long enough but time and a half pay is not available on new contracts for Sunday's and bank holiday's anymore which used to be another appealing aspect. I feel sorry for the new staff that do not get this as everyone else before them still does.
