●Introduction●
In this review I am going to tell you my story of when I worked for Morrison's and I'll also be mentioning what the customers should beware of. This was the last job that I had before the job that I have now. Please feel free to have tea and biccies because I am, If not you choose what you like. Anyway getting a bit carried away with tea there so I'll begin.


●How I got the job●
...looking on one of those touch screen job finder things, and then I got a printout. I went up to the advisor and she arranged for an application form to be sent to me in the post. I waited for the application forms and about two weeks later they arrived. I wasn't expecting this job to be a good one as all of the jobs that the jobcentre had previously supplied me with were awful, either the pay was non existent and didn't pay tax or I ended up being ... more

Morrisons my life in their hands

Advantages: good pay, pension scheme, staff discount, training
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 ...
...GOT MY JOB The store was still being built, I walked in off the street had an interview straight away and within 2 hours they had called to say I had the job. I worked full time on the deli counter, it was not a great start (the store officially opened two days later) I had a few hours training and an induction then was thrown in at the deep end serving real customers for the first time in my life. A BUMPY PATH Having worked in many different ...

The hell of Morrisons

Advantages: Easy to get a job, anyone can work there.
Disadvantages: Anyone can work there, looks bad on CV after a while, management, pay, company policies.....

Well, to start, I am currently an unwilling prisoner of a Morrisons store in the Salford area of Manchester. I took the job on out of desperation, and also because I wrongly thought that with my pretty decent academic, vocational and professional qualifications, something would turn up soon. I was wrong. To anyone thinking of getting a job there, for whatever reason, bear one thing in mind. Once the word Morrison's sullies your CV, no excuse will ...
...a knucklehead by any other potential employer. Working at Morrisons is not a pleasant experience. There is always a mini crisis in progress, which is almost always down to understaffing or supply problems (the suppliers at Wakefield, being owned by Morrisons, are also horribly overworked). The management are generally arrogant, patronising, incredibly lazy and inept and exude an air of pomposity several miles north of royalty (the ADM at my store ...

There are worse jobs....but not that many.

Advantages: Flexible hours
Disadvantages: Rude/obnoxious customers. No respect from managers. Poor wages. No prospects.

I've worked at Morrisons on and off for about 7 years. I've worked on various different departments (Fresh, Grocery, Nights, Petrol) and at 3 different stores. The main issue I have with working there is the customers. Some are polite, nice, respectful. But many more are rude, obnoxious, arrogant and show you absolutely no respect whatsoever. They won't say please, or excuse me, or thank you. Even if you go out of your way to help them. They constantly ...
...waste, they eat before paying and dump the litter, many of them have TERRIBLE personal hygiene, which becomes an issue when they insist on putting themselves in your general vicinity. Customers will always make snap judgements about you and approach you with a extremely snobby and prejudicial attitude, "oh, he works in Morrisons, he must be an idiot, no-hoper" and this becomes a frequent theme when dealing with many customers. Personally, I'm a very ...

Morrisons the store with more?

Advantages: Good stores
Disadvantages: Sometimes they are understaffed

Morrisons. If the first thing you will notice about all Morrisons stores is that they seem to be based on a typical street scene, then you are perfectly correct. The layout of each store is based on a late 19th century street market, as you would have seen in any 19th century market town. The reason behind this is that William Morrison the original founder of the store started out with a small street barrow in a street market in Bradford, his home ...
...to remember the humble origins of one of the fastest growing supermarkets in the United Kingdom. You may notice that there is always a near to full scale model of a street market barrow in a prominent position in every Morrisons store. Morrisons have a wide variety of departments on the street. (Yes, they call the shop floor the street, Market Street, to be more accurate) An in-store bakery that bakes bread and cakes every day. A fishmonger, a butcher, ...

Checkouts at Morrisons

Advantages: Ok-ish pay
Disadvantages: All the rest

I started working on the checkouts in morrisons a few months ago, and at first i quite liked it. The induction day was so long I can't remember most of it. I was scheduled for a lot of training in my first few weeks and although it seemed like a lot, the first time that I actually learnt how to use a till was when I was actually serving customers. Everything was fine apart from a few minor problems. For one, I'm 17 so have to ask someone over 18 ...
...the supervisers on many occasions have been too busy having chat by the desk or not even around at all, so after putting my light on I get no help whatsoever. On one such occassion a friend who is 18 walked passed my till and authorised the sale. Then a superviser popped up and gave me a huge telling off. Why? Because apparently I "needed to ask someone who was 25". I was never told this in all my training, only that I needed to ask someone over ...
