I am a student and I work part time in Morrison’s. I cannot say enough how much I dread going into work and how much I hate doing the job. It’s not just the rude customers either. Some of the... more

    3 Stars A Fresh Choice for you Review with images 24/02/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good pay and training provided

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The discipline procedure

    This review is about my experience working at Morrisons the retail supermarket chain. About Morrisons Morrisons is a huge supermarket chain in the UK and was founded in 1899 and it was just the one store which started this amazing chain of events to make Morrisons to near the top of the supermarket chain. In 2004 they obtained the rights to buy Safeway and they managed to buy most of their stores and expand their reputation and currently they have got 420 stores and that is rising all the time. The Morrison family themselves own 16% of the company. They have 124,000 employees and made £640 ... more

Anyway getting a bit carried away with tea there so I'll begin. ●How I got the job● I got this job from the jobcentre.

    1 Star The absolute worst place I've ever worked 06/08/2011
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages You can make some good friends with colleagues

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Everything else

    I’m writing this review having just given my notice after a particularly bad day in what is the worst place I have ever had the misfortune to work. I’ve previously worked at both Asda and Tesco, as well as many other smaller retailers over the years, all of which I left due to changes in circumstances rather than anything related to the job. I’ve always enjoyed working in retail, whichever aspect I was involved in at the time, but after 2 and a half years working at Morrisons I came to HATE every single minute of every shift. I chose to apply at Morrisons because of the flexible hours they ... more

    3 Stars Morrisons my life in their hands 23/07/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages good pay, pension scheme, staff discount, training

    Disadvantages Disadvantages long hours, very demanding

    I worked for Wm Morrison Supermarkets for 14 years (leaving in December 2002). I started as a enthusiastic deli assistant and ended as a disillusioned Department manager. this piece is quite long i know but i think all of it is relevant if you want to know about this company. for a quick summary go to to last paragraph. I started working for the company way back in 1989, At the time Morrisons were a relatively unknown company with less than 50 stores all in the North of England. HOW I GOT MY JOB The store was still being built, I walked in off the street had an interview straight away and ... more

    2 Stars Casual job you can leave at the door, but not without its hassle 21/03/2010
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Good casual work for students, 2 store discount cards, above minimum wage.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Unappreciated as a staff member, Disorganised, Lazy Colleagues.

    I have worked for morrisons for the past four years as a part-time checkout assistant in one of their Sheffield stores. While they have benefits, like any large company can offer, such as a discount card and paid holiday leave, they are little compensation in regard to the actual working conditions. I have been unfortunate enough to have had to go on sick leave during my time with morrisons and I have to say the utter contempt you are treated with by personnel, management and company nurses is appalling. Even though I had a doctors note signing me of while undergoing serious medical testing ... more
