Pretty much everything! I've been placed in a role which I was never asked or consulted on.
Turned up to work on day & I'm in a completely different role.
No respect from management. We are literally just a number.

Worst thing
Absolutely no training, no regard for the shifts I could/couldn’t do, left on my own after 5 mins of “training” on the tills, disregarded what we agreed upon (shifts and hours). Awful place to work if you have anxiety. Can’t help being ill in flu season

They don't put enough rotas up ahead of time. U cannot plan anything! Then they change the rota and don't tell you. You are expected to check your rota very regularly.
Plus we have no air conditioning. In a very warm environment.

Rules and regulations which were fine and compliant during covid, now rules have changed and they will sack you for least little thing that was compliant but they made not.
One rule for one driver another rule for other drivers.

Best thing
We have a close knit team who through thick and thin exceed what is expected of them to no real respect.
Worst thing
Zero respect. B&Ms make simple tasks difficult to resolve through lack of investment in stores that are struggling.Area Managers especially have no respect for any of the staff, they see us as their puppets which they can just mess with peoples hours forcing people to find other Jobs. Not useful when we're struggling for staff as it is. They also make up rules as they go along.
