Big mistake

Pros

The discounts are a scam, since the food at discounted price, are the same price as those on the high street. Ridiculously over priced, with poor quality foods.

Cons

I don't normally criticise companies, but WB is a shambles. If I could give zero stars, I would. The management, at site level, are overbearing, self-serving and happy to throw you under the proverbial bus. I worked for almost a decade without any issues, because I kept my head down and refused to get pally with anyone. I watched people lose their jobs for mistakes made by others, because management wanted a scape-goat that wasn't their friend. Make sure you have a few other things going for you, because they will not hesitate to get rid of you if they don't make enough profit. Even if you worked their for many years. You will get crucified for challenging unfair decisions made by management, even if you contact HR. The grievances process is only a formality and management will do their best to prevent if from reaching head office. If it does reach head office, it will be ignored. It's your word against theirs. You will be dictated to by supervisors and managers, young enough to be your daughters, with little respect, who got their jobs though unscrupulous ways. They trample on others to get what they want.

Wasn't great to be honest

Pros

Was close to where I live - Easy commute to work

Cons

Had to leave because mainly was not enough hours and pay for me, but also I felt the team to be very unprofessional and could be quite rude at times. Because of this I struggled to make many friends within the environment and was another reason why I decided it was best to leave. I'd only recommend working here if you’re a young person looking for a first ever job (if you're a student etc) or if you're still looking for something else and this would do for you with in the mean time.
