    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

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Good training, private healthcare, Very good staff canteen.

    ●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● 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

    1 Star The hell of Morrisons 18/11/2008
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to get a job, anyone can work there.

    Disadvantages 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 atone for it, and you will always be viewed as a knucklehead by any other potential employer. Working at Morrisons is not a pleasant experience ... more

    2 Stars There are worse jobs....but not that many. 09/10/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Flexible hours

    Disadvantages 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 dump items all over the store, frozen food goes to waste, they eat before paying and dump the litter, many of them have TERRIBLE personal ... more

    4 Stars Morrisons the store with more? 27/08/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good stores

    Disadvantages 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 city. And he always wanted his family and his employers to remember the humble origins of one of the fastest growing supermarkets in the United ... more

    1 Star Checkouts at Morrisons 29/11/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Ok-ish pay

    Disadvantages 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 to supervise the sale of alcohol, simple enough, right? Only the supervisers on many occasions have been too busy having chat by the desk or not even ... more

    5 Stars Morrisons Supermarket 20/05/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent customer service; lovely staff; good benefits; and great products

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sick day management and rough customers (lack of security)

    I decided to write a review in response to this one: http://www.ciao.co.uk/Comments-on-Review​MorrisonWMSupermarkets55 59754 And also because of the comments concerning it. The training at Morrison's is excellent, very good quality with plenty of follow up. I started work in a Morrison's store in February this year and in response to Gemimz69's comment about the induction... mine took place over 2 days!!! From 9 till 5 on Saturday and 9 till 4 on the Sunday; I had an hour break in total for each day... and I have to say it was quite hefty for just an induction; what with all the video's and ... more
