Business Outlook
Pros
The pay at Waitrose, and the perks such as partner discount, are far better than anything else available part-time to young people with no experience. People are generally very nice, and the bonus system means everyone really is working for the good of the business. The bonus pay packet in March is pretty lovely too!
Cons
I was still at school when I was working there, so I needed a good amount of flexibility due to school commitments, but despite Waitrose maintaining when I was hired that my education would always come first, it was really hard to get the days off I wanted, even months in advance, and even harder to get shifts covered when that failed.
