Sainsbury’s

The people I work with

Managers not got a clue don't listen don't care about u or ur life

Colleagues are friendly

Pressure to work faster

Flexibility

Incompetent management
Incompetent colleagues

It’s boosted my confidence completely, I used to be quite nervous and shy when talking to people and I can certainly say I’m better at it now. No day is the same either, all sorts of people come in to the store on a daily basis.

It can be stressful sometimes, and sometimes it does feel very repetitive and boring. Rude customers too.

People I work with. Flexibility

Shift hours. Lack of staff

You get paid on time

Targets and pressure to reach these targets no matter what age or sex or physical disabilities you have.

Once driving you're your own boss

Computers tell you what to do and decide if you've done it well, so you get disciplined for no reason.

working 0600-1400

we are just treated as a number not a being

My friends and customers plus help and supportxx

Communication not to good

Staff

How Sainsbury’s think all store are the same and expect everyone to work the same

pay is ok

extremely difficult to book holidays even though I asked six months in advance, as someone had already booked those dates, but it's not like I was an indispensable member of staff and couldn't find someone to replace me - I worked on tills...

Autonomy

Being treated like a child.

not working inside the shop

knowing that if your not one of the favourites you've no chance of getting the shifts you want

Great company to work for however the changes over the last few years mean more work less colleagues. Managers are more office based since the removal of hr - they do not have enough time to do their job

Pay does not reflect hours worked

good money for a student

sainburys use students for temporary work when store is busy then get rid of them when we are not of use

You get to be yourself

Some people do not work

Driving

hitting timing targets whilst not speeding

School hours contract

Sickness policy

Other colleagues

Customers being mean ,

Static shifts

Constantly expected to do more by management and talking and being sociable with colleagues discouraged. Low morale.

good pay, colleagues are usually friendly enough

lack of training and no managers around to ask for help which can be really stressful, don't bother with you when you're off sick long term and huge lack of communication

early starts

too many customers

They can be understanding regarding family/work balance
Pay is good
Good discounts and store raffles etc

Some managers are awful
Lack of communication
Pushy on workload

It ticks a lot of boxes. As long as you turn up, work reasonably all is good

Communication from management

People are nice to work with

My colleagues are some of my friends so I enjoy spending time with them.

The them and us attitude between colleagues and managers is getting worse every year. To the point a colleague was told “you are not here to think for yourself you’re here to do as your told”
Ridiculous behaviour towards certain departments by management nowadays.

Been there so long and been treated fairly

Not knowing how safe my job is in the future

Times go quickly, because you are busy with customers

Not get exposure

the pay ... that's the only good thing

Literally everything thats not the pay rate

Full time easy job lots to do

Staffing issues

A small number of work colleagues

Straight forward

Not enough people who work well

The job is an excellent job meeting &providing a service to the general public is beautiful.

Retail can be beautiful but at times staff are not appreciated.Companies needs to rewards members. Pay is not enough for sometimes the amount of work staff do .

Keeping busy

No being how's to talk to someone

The Pay, lack of work for shifts

Great Colleagues. Clear policies about how things should be done.

Abuse from customers.

Management is very friendly to their colleagues.

Fun and friendly

Have to smile ebrn when u don't feel like it

out on the road every day

the early starts

Great team work and understanding managers.

Rude managers that are not understanding at all
Expect me to feel fine even when I am not
Rude customers
Having to get stuff done (roll cages) in under an hour

discount working in a team

anti-social hrs & verbal abuse from customers

Dealing direct with customers.

No support from management, they only care about their KPIs.

Easy, stress free

Poorly paid, no opportunities for growth or to develop new skills

Being out on the road unsupervised.

Late shifts.

Rate of pay

Constantly pushing for more

Great work ethic
Suitable hours
Understanding employer

The hours and the people

Customers

Not enough people lusten to new ideas

secured and not too tiring

basic skills needed and no progression
