What people are saying about sick pay at B&M

  • Best thing

    Friendly collegues and staff.
    Good length in breaks and paid breaks.
    Get used to having friendly regular customers. Good staff car parking.

    Worst thing

    There isn't much trust, we cant do basic things like reprint recipts without manager authorisation and we have to call managers often to approve returns etc.

    It can feel like a lot of work for very little pay. The shifts vary which makes getting a regular schedule hard. Often put in for overtime (contracted 20 hrs, work 25 hours). Our shop closes at 10pm so sometimes you can be working late. We only get our rotor two weeks in advance which makes booking things in advance a challenge.

    Dont feel particularly safe at this job as some customers can be quite intimidating.

    Personally I wouldnt reccomend working there to a friend.

  • Best thing

    Easy access to holiday pay. Get toilet breaks whenever you want. Decent wage.

    Worst thing

    Short and UNPAID breaks. Don’t get Bank Holidays or national holidays off such as Easter (Christmas Day you get off though) - these are not payed more either (e.g. double pay or time and a half). Cash-only canteen for food - the canteen gets to shut early on a Bank Holiday but we have to keep working, regardless.
