A good company to work for but at the end of the day it's still a supermarket job - Supermarket Assistant Waitrose Employee Review

Pros

Good pay (for this type of work), annual bonus, really good discounts and benefits (£60 to spend on music or theatre tickets and £250 to spend on learning every year) suitable hours for students, like-minded colleagues.

Cons

Not enough variety, some very rude customers, favoritism of older employees, either understaffed or overstaffed. Despite the fact that you get paid holiday it is near to impossible to take at certain times. I left at the end of August because I couldn't take holiday despite booking it up to 2 months in advance, and I hadn't taken time off since the beginning of March
