Pros
*The bonus which is an attempt to cover up the fact that they pay a lot less than any other supermarket. Not to add every supermarket pays a bonus of some sort but Waitrose make it well know to make their staff seem like their treated better than other supermarkets when they are not.
Cons
* if you have any issues with not getting paid there is no clear way to get the problem sorted as the company seems to think it's to perfect to have these issues. I didn't get paid for my first 3 months while doing over 40 hours a week and they took over a year to give me that money. They showed no urgency to sort it out till I got a solicitor involved. *They pretend to be something they are not. We are not partners we are people working together. * There are no opportunities to progress as they don't want to pay you while you do the training that is needed. They just hire people who are already at that level at another company. They were talking about moving me up to be a team leader for 10 months and didn't get around to it till I said I was leaving. * There are 5 different performance levels if you get past devoloping you most likely get a pay rise and if you go bellow it you get a disciplinary and eventually get sacked if you stay there. The issue is that nobody ever goes above or bellow it someone that hides in the back all day after turning up late will be in devoloping and so will someone that works every bit of stock by themself and stays on past their shift to finish what their doing. * The most short staffed supermarket and the lowest pay? You would think they have a higher profit margin then? No that's the lowest aswel. * Some mornings we will have as few as 3 members of staff in the manager the bakery staff and 1 person to pull the delivery in work all the stock and stay on the tills at the same time? Not realistic and they are trying to cut staff even more.
