Pros
Partnership card means discount in Waitrose and John Lewis plus some restaurants and other shops. Good holiday. Uniform. The bonus which helps soften the blow of receiving a poor wage. I work with a great team! 😊
Kontras
Lack of personal development and career opportunities -even as a very experienced professional and graduate. Poor wage -under £7. Appraisal system oppresses any good pay rise or personal development. Employs large number of young (minors) students looking for pocket money leaving most times of the day short staffed. Dedicated older staff are left picking up the pieces and working longer hours to cover busy times of the day. High turnover of management. Poor leadership. Poor, inconsistent training. Inconsistent disciplinary procedures. My Waitrose card allows customers a free coffee everyday but only allows partners a free coffee on the days they dont work!!!
