Pros

Depends on a shop to shop basis how you get on within this company, awesome manager (like I have myself) and your job is the most awesome one you can have!

Cons

Higher levels not looking at stores on individual basis and thinking what works for one will work for the other. Stupid!

Pros

Great staff in store, good compensation although not compared so some of the newer supermarkets such as Aldi and Lidl

Cons

Different experience in every store. Staff are not retained or trained properly. There are numerous health and safety issues in stores (whilst I was there I broke my foot, I know of someone else who lost there toes). Equipment is old and therefore often breaks down (fridges, freezers, lifts). Staff are not valued and there is a clear divide between morning and evening staff with both lots of people blaming each other for problems that they have caused.
