Not the ideal workplace. - Supermarket Assistant Waitrose Employee Review

Employees aren't exactly allowed to talk to each other on shift. Hard to get holidays off and managers will allocate the time off for you which you can't change. Managers can be extremely rude, especially to new staff. When calling in sick, expect to be questioned and perhaps even (like in my case), threatened to lose their job. Long hours which can be very hard to change. (Average is 9-hour days).
