What people are saying about sick pay at B&M

  • Best thing

    My colleagues. 10% off. proper breaks. regular customers.

    Worst thing

    manager and deputy manager. customers.

    2.4

    B&M Customer service assistant, September 2022

  • 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.

    6.6

    B&M Warehouse operative, August 2022

  • Best thing

    More breaks than most retail jobs
    Easy job

    Worst thing

    Management are lazy, not proactive and unable to delegate
    Favouritism
    Unequal opportunities
    Lack of overtime
    16 hours is maximum contract hours
    Minimum wage
    No rewards

    3.2

    B&M Customer service assistant, December 2021

  • Best thing

    Colleague, Breaks and Leaving

    Worst thing

    Favouritism

    4.1

    B&M Employee, May 2021

  • Best thing

    The breaks are adequate, some managers are ok and others expect too much of you. Very easy job.

    Worst thing

    The only stressful thing is trying to help a customer or being on the till when it’s busy. But if you can handle yourself then it’s fine. Can get boring when there are no jobs left to do and you have to face up the store.
