The best company!

Pros

The general working day is a pleasure. There's no sort of better than others feel as we are all partners and therefore all feel like a part of the business. We are like a big family and there are always people to talk to and are willing to help you. I can honestly say I don't see my shift as another day at work instead it's a day with another one of my families! I wouldn't swap my job here for the world.

Cons

The only con I can say about working at waitrose is you get the odd person who gets on your nerves but you'd get that anywhere so that's a general con but honestly I can't say anything bad about working in waitrose as there simply isn't anything to say!

Pros

Partnership with atrong ethos, very friendly staff, strong self-development scheme, performance-based salary and pay rises, opportunities to have say in business, employees seem to really care about the business and doing their job well, opportunities for promotion, caring environment, community involvement, multiple benefits, discount, lots of activities etc for employees and their families etc.

Cons

Quite a lot of jargon is used, sometimes going out of the way to satisfy a customer seems excessive, some unpleasant customers.
