Pros

Not that I came across. Besides obviously the discount that was mentioned.

Cons

On my first day - left in a office for 8hrs to do “training” had to call the manager to ask if I could go on break. Wasn’t shown the shopfloor until the end of the training. No one knew what was going on it seemed. The “manager” didn’t even know what shift I was meant to do the next day? Terrible experience working at Waitrose.
