Is enjoyable but can often become boring and repetitive, but training in lots of different sections allows you to keep motivated and engaged.

The bonus and other great perks help to make you feel valued. You will have a few appraisals a year as well, where progress is checked.

Now it is more structured, with better training in place. Ensuring that you can be trained across all departments.

You receive as much from management and sponsors as needed. You will also have to undertake training online and further training at work but nothing daunting.

Management are always willing to help, and also online training and other training days by the company.

For a supermarket job it pays well, along with the bonus. You also get cheap lunch and breakfast options if your supermarket has a cafe.

as many as you want. Free days out, cheap holidays, great bonuses, and other perks. You can also volunteer for charity and other schemes and get these hours covered by Waitrose.
