Pros

Not a lot of responsibility in deli. Lots of customer interaction.

Cons

No staff perks, no free or discounted food or even a free coffee, very bad considering coffee is sold on site. No staff room, must eat with the customers on breaks.

Pros

The co-workers are friendly. Shift work that can allow you to tailor your week to appointments. Double pay on bank holidays.

Cons

Extremely demanding work for minimum wage. No one recieved HACCP training in bakewell department. Understaffed for the work load demanded. Have not recieved wage slip in 4 months. Long hours. Management from head office degrade you in front of co workers. You can sometimes be expected to work till 9.30pm and back in at 5.00am. I am not a disgruntled employee, I have 5 years previous food experience which is why I find this company's policy's and treatment of staff shocking.
