Pros: I no longer have to work here. Cons: Im going to miss the people that made this place almost bearable. I worked in the warehouse for over 2yrs, I had a great time with the staff I worked with both in and outside the warehouse. However the store as a whole is grossly under staffed and miss managed, from a regional to store level. Because of this, staff are expected to do the work of multiple people while working in testing conditions. Obviously this way of doing things is never going to work, which is why the work builds up both in and outside the warehouse, (walk around the store you will more often than not see what is mentioned here) add a serious pest control issue in to that and the company not stopping deliveries for the issue to be dealt with, which has lead the place in to a bit of a mess. I say a bit. What I mean is, as a staff member you will come in to contact with rat droppings on an almost daily basis, you will smell the musky odder of rat urine in areas around the warehouse all day. It's an absolute guarantee that there is stock sold on the shop floor that has come in to contact with the rats. On the 16.10.19 I witnessed staff from the shop floor take a pallet of food department stock from the yard (where it was kept over night) and work it on to the shop floor, Some staff came back talking about how the rats had eaten some of the stock and some cans where damaged to. The stock they brought back was demics. They did not scrap the whole pallet from the food department. Since I started working there nearly 2.5 yrs ago I have seen staff taking shelves from the yard where they have become slightly rusted and weather beaten but mostly the problem is that the rats have been over them, urine and faces present at times again. They will take these shelves on to the shop floor after only drying them, where they would then place stock on the shelves. I have personally witnessed management setting up a baby stock shelf next to seasonal last year where they placed baby suckers on hooks right under these shelves. On the 19.10.19 I witnessed staff working under extremely dangerous condition while the store was taking in water due to bad rain, While the water was coming in to the store threw holes in the roof, it was hitting lights to the point you could call them flooded, Staff where then told to clean the water up that had pooled on the floor under the lights, The staff had zero PPE on. The curcumstances around this are a stand out issue for me and the reason I ended my employment with the store. There was no risk assessment done to find out if there was any hazards which could effect the staff, I think having them clean up flood water under a light thats lashing with water while it has a live current going threw it would be considered a hazard. The shop was closed to the public for the morning but not staff, the on sight manager (who openly stated that she had zero health and safety trying for this type of thing) called the area manager Mark Steven who she said has ordered staff to go get mops and clean up. The above paragraph illustrates the lack of due care and attention buy the management on a local and area level, The act of not doing a risk assessment is a breach of H&S and put myself the staff that were on sight and the manager at risk of death or serious injury. I can't stress enough that you avoid this place unless you are forced to work here by the job centre, You have no value beyond getting the doors open and stock out, your mental and physical well being has no value to this company or the people who run it.
