Waitrose Reviews

Cons

some managers were difficult to get along with, HR were useless and payments often did not include overtime.

Cons

sometimes did not get paid when last customers were in store, due to customer service were forced to wait for last remaining customers

Cons

A trend towards the idea that consultants are the root to realising future growth ambitions without necessarily unlocking all of the internal talent that exists

Cons

Hours can be long, retail is never amazing to work in

Cons

As a lot of places now staff are spread too thin. They expect a high level of service still even though there isn't the staff. This is unfair on the staff and customers. They need to think this through.

For me I still get the perks as I have been there long enough but time and a half pay is not available on new contracts for Sunday's and bank holiday's anymore which used to be another appealing aspect.

I feel sorry for the new staff that do not get this as everyone else before them still does.

Cons

there wasn't any cons I found

Cons

Too much management who are running around like headless chickens as they are worried about their job security.
Management can be condescending even though they are unable to do the area in which you work.

Cons

Can be a bit dull and monotonous

Cons

Management sometimes take the 'the customer is always right' ethos too far, undermining employees who are following the company rules

Cons

Management was often focused on their own work and couldn't dedicate focus on developing staff further.
