Pros

The people at Waitrose are incredibly friendly and welcoming and helped to make working there more enjoyable. The pay is average, not too long hours and in my branch you can get food 50% on shift to eat.

Cons

Management were useless couldn't get themselves organised. I wasn't trained properly on the tills and they kept putting me on there without any help. Didn't tell me anything just showed me lots of online media about my job. Customers are often very rude Pay isn't anything special, bonus cut for another year running not worth the pay. Very little option for overtime
