Thank you for your review and feedback. We appreciate how busy it can get in our food stores and sometimes that means re-prioritising some tasks to make sure our customers have the best shopping experience.

Pros

- The team leaders in this store are absolutely excellent and worth their weight in gold - staff discount - marginally above minimum wage

Cons

- Shift patterns can be unfairly allocated due to a lack of staff - Chronically understaffed - No manager for about a year now - staff expected to struggle on even though we are making them insane amounts of money as a flagship store! We absolutely need a manager - area manager doesn’t seem to care or help when needed

Thank you for your review and feedback. We're sorry to hear that things have felt so unsettled for you. We've checked and can see that a very experienced manager has transferred in the last few months and we hope that things are starting to improve for you now. Please do share any concerns you have with your manager and I am certain that they will be able to support you.
