Waitrose & Partners

It's not far from home, pay is good, good work mates

The night shift hours

Nothing much.

No training. Poor management

The team

Some unsociable hours

Customer service.

Understaffed at times.

The hours I am allocated to work fit in with what I want.

Locating layout of stock changes

Some of the people working there

You get unfairly treated

The work is pretty easy

Didn’t get enough training but am expected to know everything and hours are really bad and they’re not willing to change it.

Career Progression

It never stops

Flexibility, the people I work with and the diversity of the role

Negative people

Love working with them
Good communication

Just people give up at times

Local some people

Treated differently

Working with friendly colleagues and serving pleasant customers

Lack of support by some members of the management team

The management really like to know if we have any problems and everyone is very nice

Regular hours, paid on time, partner discount.

Holiday/time off can be hard to get, unsympathetic managers, very strict sickness policy, abolition of annual bonus, managers can be quite intimidating/bullying at times (they have their favourites too who are treated better), lack of staff which means current staff are expected to work harder and faster. It used to be a good company to work for but unfortunately not any more.

Can be heavy work

Some people within the team are really great to work with and can make a shift enjoyable if you are with the right people.

Some staff are so hard to work with and can sometimes make you hate your job. Management definitely have favourites and treat some people with absolutely no respect. Actually made me get diagnosed with depression due to how badly I was treated!

I get to meet lots of nice customers and staff.

Them meeting quotas for equality when you could be doing more than that person
