i have been with sainsburys for about 3 years now and i must say it sounds like management are the same in every store..at my store (i will not name it even though i think i will be sacked soon! its in a big city lets say..) the boss and his deputies are the most ignorant people alive!! they only talk to us when we have a visit from area manager or they want something doing urgently. the 'deputy' manager at my store thinks she in indeed called God,she stays in front of the computer all day and only leaves to have a go at someone,apparently one of my,since dismissed,colleges called her a bi**h and she replied..no no i am THE bi**h hahaha says it all. the only thing good  Read the complete review

Sainsbury's Started working for the company some 16 months ago, as a mature graduate must say all in all they have been one of the better companies that i have worked for, OK they want you to graft for your money! isn't that what we get payed for, the working conditions are good, uniform provided, the holiday entitlement is excellent and the training is pretty good to. I am currently moving on to night shift as team leader and the pay for this part of the country is very good, i have met a lot of really nice folk while working for this company, it gave me a bit of pride and secure employment so i rate them very highly, and i also received allot of ...  Read the complete review

What a god awful company to work for. I don't know whether my issues (or I should say 'our' due to the complaints all my fellow colleagues have) are just store specific, but they seem to originate from higher up the chain. First I'll point out the positive, it will be short and sweet, so I'll get them out the way. *Holidays: You get more than most, compared to what my friends/family have. *Break allowance: Same as above. For a 9hr shift, you receive 1hr30min. break. *Flexibility: My store are good at letting you swap shifts with another colleague if required. The bad: I want to point out that I am not a disgruntled employee, I am ...  Read the complete review

I have been working there for almost 2 years now and everyday just gets worse and worse. The first 6months or so was not too bad, alright money for someone my age ( 17 ) but more recently, like the last 9 months or so have just been horrible. The manager is a complete racist, he will let all the asian employees get away with murder and will bully the white workers. Me being a white english male, working for him is awful... he constantly picks on me and will give me the worst jobs to do and expect me to do most of the work while he and he " friends " will do nothing. The other team leaders and mangers are almost as bad, worst place to work... will be quitting as  Read the complete review

I got a contract for Christmas period and I am not going to do this mistake again!! Sainsbury's sucks, my mnager did not liked me at all maybe because I was romanian I do not know but she never hidden the fact that she did not like me. A lot of gossip between the staff, however no stress at all work wise and quite good money. But never ever again I'll work for Sainsbury's!! I was in the online department and I worked ever so hard cause you can imagine how christmas period is but they did not see how hard I worked, people just don't care. One night I came from 12.30 I was on the rota until 8.30 morning and nobody was in, aparentely my manager forgot to mention to me that  Read the complete review
