Pros
-Genuinely a really nice atmosphere to work in. -Tend to get a good variety of team members, which makes for a good and friendly working environment. -Great for getting overtime, I never struggle to find overtime hours if I need them. -Always seem to be happy to cross-train you in other areas of the store. Good if you want to develop skills in more than one area and makes things a bit more interesting. -Obviously the Partner discount card for Waitrose and John Lewis, the annual bonus, time and a half on Sunday's and Bank Holiday's. Numerous other benefits and discounts you can get- there's a whole handbook of them!
Cons
-Extremely under-staffed. Are very cautious about hiring new staff to replace people who have left. Puts everyone under a lot of pressure, and can often effect the performance of the store and customer satisfaction which is not good. -From my personal experience, managers can be hard to communicate/ get in touch with. -Can be hard to get time off unless booked quite far in advance.
