Wm Morrison Supermarkets Reviews

Pros

Very flexible.
Perfect for students.
Good working environment due to fellow staff and immediate managers although senior management are not too sympathetic/emphathetic.

Cons

Oppertunity for promotion and scope of promotion is limited due to nature of business.

Advice to Senior Management

Appreciate the staff at a lower level more. These are the very people doing the more tedious tasks that run the stores themselves. Recognise the fact that these are the people working for you to receive your pay/bonuses.

Pros

some colleagues are nice but most people are rubbish

Cons

management always thinks about themselve rather than staff

Advice to Senior Management

should listen to every staff in each department how they feel and how their managers treat them rather than just listen to department heads

Pros

easy work, anyone with a alittle work experience can get thois job, very good pay for what you do.

Cons

holidays are quite poor and takes ages to process

Advice to Senior Management

Better process for holidays

Pros

10% staff discount in stores!

Cons

Limited career growth opportunity in IT field.

Advice to Senior Management

Change the orthodox style of management.

Pros

Variety of shifts, which is good for students and mums, who can fit in work round lectures, exams or children, 10% off when shopping for groceries.

Cons

Lousy pay - lowest of all the major supermarkets. Expected to work extremely hard. Senior management have no idea how to treat staff. Only get promotion if your face fits. Expected to work past shift finishing times with no extra pay. Expected to know how to do job with bare minimum, or in some cases no, training. Checkout staff treated as children, constantly having to get authorisation from harassed and overworked supervisors. No back-up from managers.

Advice to Senior Management

Speak to staff the way you would like to be spoken to. Listen to staff complaints and advice. Accept that you might be well paid, but you don't know everything.

Pros

Very good in terms of flexible working hours in the long term, but not so helpful if there is a short term need. Senior management is excellent, very professional and competent (generally). I only work on the weekend, as a student, the work is easy and if you are with like-minded people, it can be very enjoyable. Time-and-a-half pay on a sunday! awesomes!

Cons

Middle management can very often be terrible, promotions giving to people simply not worthy of it. training can be very poor. they seem to employ absolutely anyone, this can often lead to working with people who are incompetent at their job.

Advice to Senior Management

Be a bit picky!!!! dont simply employ anyone who applys, take advantage of students, we are smart and professional and want something good for our cv, so exploit us more instead of employing full-time staff who are utterly hopeless!

Pros

Good support, opportunity to progress, recognition of talent, friendly staff, good benefits for employees and social events, good pay once into management

Cons

Hard work, may have to work overtime some times to cover other people, you are expected to know everything from the start so must learn quickly

Advice to Senior Management

The leadership structure is very good at morrisons, the senior tea work well and know how best to sell products effectively and efficiently.
