Bog standard min wage supermarket job - Anonymous employee Waitrose Employee Review

It's still a corporation with an attitude of a corporation, despite all the talk of "partnership". Compulsory weekend shifts for everyone and if you are part time that equals every single weekend, and you have to pick all the dates for your next year's holiday within a 2-3 week window a year in advance. Boring and bureacratic "partner development meetings" with managers where you have to prove that you've grown and improved at doing your job(while you were stacking shelves and working the checkouts, basically box ticking exercise and a PITA both for managers and colleauges in my opinion)
