  Pressure of making sure all the delivery is worked.

• Worst thing

  Toxic colleagues who bring others down especially with disabilities and mental health issues

  4.2

  Sainsbury’s Employee, July 2022

• Worst thing

  No staff so the pressure is on you without any benefits. Breaks are time slotted with no say in them. Forced to be multi-skilled without extra pay with those skills. If you're sick, you get a disciplinary. Management can cause £100's of damage with no problems but they'll take away your pay at any given chance.

  Sainsbury’s Employee, May 2022

• Best thing

  My role is fairly simple to carry out, and overall the job is decent.

  Worst thing

  You often get overloaded with various tasks due to lack of staff. For instance: I'm the primary code checker, however it will sometimes fall to me to take care of deliveries because I'm one of a few colleagues trained on the back door, taking time away from my code checking. I can't put in 100% when I'm split between two completely different tasks.
