Pros

- Good Pay - Trained in Different Areas, i.e. Bakery, Non-Food, Tills ect

Cons

- Excessive Workload - Not for the Lazy or Fragile - Always Understaffed = Constant Overtime (working way over contracted hours) - Adding/changing shifts without notice or permission, basically forced to do it if you can't swap or find cover - Administration Lose Basic Paperwork such as Holiday Requests or Change in hours, then don't take responsibility - It will push your stress levels to the absolute max - Short Breaks despite long shifts

Pros

Pay Is Good For A Grocery Store

Cons

Hours Are Inconsistent. Unfair Treatment In Work Place. The Hire Ups Are Very Rude, Unapproachable, Looks Down On Employees As Less. No Appreciation For Employees. Slow Weeks Hours Can Drop Down To 8hrs/Week. Employees Work HARD, Pay Is Good But Not Enough
