Pros

Fair Salary (although means progression can be difficult due to raised wages/benefits) Very good Holiday entitlement Discount Flexibility toward working pattern.

Cons

Staffing hours in short supply Less time to do jobs, perfection is still expected every minute of trading. Aldi speeds wanted whilst providing Waitrose customer service. To reach required level, unpaid overtime required.

Hi, I'm sorry to hear you're having issues in your workplace. I'd recommend speaking to your manager to see if they can help in any way, especially regarding any unpaid overtime that you care due. ^Catherine

Pros

Team got on well, hours weren't particularly harsh (pay not particularly impressive either)

Cons

Overworked due to corporate ruthlessly cutting hours (while hiring more staff?), generally piling on more and more work to the store team without considering time constraints, absolutely no opportunity for advancement while a store manager is already there
