    Savers Employee, June 2023

  • Best thing

    In my mind once my shift ends, whatever happens there is none of my business and it doesn't come home with me

    Worst thing

    My colleagues seem to think they're still at school and always talk behind eachothers backs and too much is expected of us

    Savers Sales advisor, May 2023

  • Best thing

    The team I work with.

    Worst thing

    Being attached by customers and having to clean up their bodily ablutions. Thieves being threatening. Management telling us getting a security guard isn't viable and we need to put up with the violence. We feel extremely unsafe.

    The colleagues, management, and making friends with the regular customers that come in.

    Worst thing

    General public who can be rude, offensive and disrespectful when you're just doing your job. I certainly don't get paid enough to deal with that.
