Sainsbury’s job reviews

You get paid, generally people are reasonable and compared to some supermarkets I've worked for ok

You live in fear of a customer complaint, as the manager will not back you and will take you into a room and basically tear a strip off you threatening your job... doesn't matter how abusive the customer is or if it wasn't your fault they don't want complaints. Same with sick leave genuine or not you have 1% a year above that you will lose your job.

such sick people to work with everyone is nice and friendly

hours can drag

interacting with my community and helping people get what they need/want without it feeling like it takes up my time

waking up early/ even tho i still like the organisation

Get to chat with customers, working in a great team

Wet, dark nights and houses with no digns

Flexible
Good pay

Can be stressful

Great staff to work with, the management need to know what's going on

Late shifts

Customer interaction I get different questions every time I work if this product is good would I recommend or what would be the best one to get for certain situations

the people

some managers don’t mind their business

The people I work with and customers

Manger do not listen or show there faces enough

Pay for my age

Management
No communication
Not that many shifts - not updated on shift changes = loss of hours

Enjoy the people I work with, can get shifts changed easily, managers are pretty helpful when you ask for their help

Lack of training in some areas, never updated in new changes, not good with advancing in the job role if you wish to

Good pay

Toxic environment
Inflexible

Helping customers

They don't care about staff wellbeing

The people

Lack of support

The colleagues and customers

Rude customers

Staff discount on food you'd buy anyway. Secure job.

Management that doesn't do their job and makes your job difficult. They take advantage of you if you work hard along with zero performance initiative make it hell for anyone wanting to work hard.

The people

Unrealistic expectations
Managers favouritism
Get treated like a child
Work load is a lot

The team members

The load needed to be completed within a certain time frame

I love the people I work with

Everything from the moment you walk in it’s hell on Earth.

Flexible Hours and colleagues

Workload is sometimes so much that it is so stressful and managers don’t recognise that

Pay

Mangers
Shifts
Lack of staff
Stress on younger people

The pay is really quite good.
I get to work with my friend

Stressful.
All training i’ve done was useless for the jobs i do.
Some of the counter staff are rude and dismissive, i’m a new employee and they all don’t help me out with things i struggle with.
i’m constantly stressed and since i joined i’ve been dizzy and feeling faint every single day i work.

making hot drinks for people and perfecting it

stress and the dishwasher when it doesn’t work

Money

The time it takes up

Good pay and easy

Terrible breaks. Only 20 minutes for a 6 hour shift or 30 minutes for 8 hour, isn’t fair

the people i work with

managers not thinking i can do my job properly because i’m u der 18 and female

the pay

hard to book time off
stressful sometimes
boring

Colleagues are nice

Not enough staff, quite physical and tiring when busy

the pay

the workload. most of the time there isn’t enough leaving me bored

Work feels satisfying when done

No support, higher management don’t understand how under staffed we are

People I work with

Customers

The people

The pay can be questionable when you’re on the same as everyone and have more responsibility’s than the average colleague

Some of the people you work with are amazing and become really good friends
The pay was fair when we were fully staffed, less so now that we work harder to cover the gaps.

I specifically load vans in the early morning shift so the 2am wake ups
The excruciating back pain and body aches
Losing staff and management not hiring back people because we're over budget
The constant asking for an extra person to be able to help you in a certain role but management never hire anybody to help despite agreeing with you
Nobody caring or being allowed to follow risk assessments because we have to work harder because of understaffing
Hypocritical management having a go for not working hard enough but stands round talking themselves and get verbally pissed off when they have to do some actual hands on work
Some people doing the absolute bare minimum of work because "why would I when other people will do it"
Delivery drivers who have designated time to help you but just hide away or watch you struggle instead but get paid more to do so
The General assistant role is stressful because you have times to meet and everyone else in the grocery online world tries to make your life harder and you get blamed for things going wrong which are out of your control
THE BACK PAIN

The pay

Too many heavy things , long hrs eg: on Xmas eve , too much stress and pressure and need to beware of time , not a good job

other staff members, good pay

rude customers every day :(

the pay

treated unfairly if you’re young but some supervisors stick up for you

The people my age

My mangers

Few managers are nice and can be understanding if ya tell them the whole story

Good colleagues, relatively easy work, 45 minute break, good managers

Long hours overnight but do get used to it.
Delivery’s can be large at Christmas but managers understand and don’t expect it all to go out

The people I work with

The management don't have a clue what's going on

The managers are horrible and bullies

The Team spirit in store

False sense of security from sainsburys. Hard to progress

Staff are like family, colleague discount and pay

Working New Year’s Day

Customers

When others do not complete their tasks on time which has a domino effect on the rest of us

Helping customers and they call you “a little star” 🥰😂

It’s the exact same thing for 4 hours. If you enjoy it that’s cool. Also you start work at 4am

Friends there
