Bad experience, unequality. Unfair trearment of employees of the same rank. Dont try they wont appreciate it. Ruined my nerves. Worked part time
Bakewell Assistant (Former Employee) - Ireland - 22 July 2022
Bad experience, unequality. Unfair trearment of employees of the same rank. Dont try they wont appreciate it. Ruined my nerves. Worked part time.You try and if you just take a breath, you will be given the task to wash the floor behind the oven or in the freezer, while those close to the senior in the department (their close colleagues) talk and can stand and take a breath and look into the phone I’m glad I didn’t endure for a long time, it was very insulting,

Worse company I ever worked for
Deli Assistant (Current Employee) - Cork, County Cork - 5 July 2022
Management only look out for management. Staff turnover is really bad. Deli food records are all falsified.If you give an opinion on something you are threatened and punished with your hours being cut. Minimum wage for maximum work .

Good staff & management
Sales Assistant (Current Employee) - Louth - 4 July 2022
If you show you’re responsible you’ll be given more responsibility within the job. Great job for students. Morning and evening shifts to suit everyone.
Pros
Good staff, flexible shifts

Low paid over worked
SALES ASSISTANT (Former Employee) - Birdhill, County Tipperary - 15 June 2022
Never guaranteed to be paid properly every week !!! It’s remote location means fuel cost to travel there and fuel is not getting any cheaper no reduction from a fuel company for staff makes no sense
Pros
Great friendship made there
Cons
Low low pay if you get paid at all

Avoid at all costs
Store Assistant (Former Employee) - Tullamore, County Offaly - 25 May 2022
I worked here for 3 years and I didn't realise the difference until I got new job in differentcompany. Your expected to do managers work for minimum wage.count the cash, safe, fill Atm,do all bank lodgement, train In a new member staff weekly and deal with customer complaints while manager hides... your expected to be on call 24/7 and when unavailable your told your ment to be fully flexible on a phone calls notice.but when you ring the manager on his day off you get in trouble..the money is terrible , minium wage for 3 years and the management only care about themselves.. there's never any in incentive for staff to progress...

Discombobulated
Team Member (Former Employee) - Castlebellingham, County Louth - 16 May 2022
Employees there’s are so nice, in terms of management, lazy and incompetent, one day I caught my manager eating donuts in the office when busy, was told to change expired food dates, childish management with dimensia but altogether good conversations with interesting employees

Good for students
Retail salesperson (Former Employee) - Navan, County Meath - 4 May 2022
Good company to work if youre a part time student, besides that there is no room for progression and the management are terrible. They do offer flexibility with the roster, also some really fun people you work with.
Pros
Flexible hours/days
Cons
Bad pay, not much room for growth

Fine
Sandwich Artist (Current Employee) - Kilkenny, County Kilkenny - 4 May 2022
Good enough for a retail job. Managers are not very experienced and this leads to tension regularly. Very understaffed and therefore leads to working extra hours/ days. Not seen by management

Awful
DELI ASSISTANT (Former Employee) - Ireland - 2 May 2022
Overworked, underpaid. No overtime pay, only an extra 30 odd cent an hour on a Sunday. Hard to book holidays with. I went 7 months without a break. Understaffed, management do not care about staff
Pros
10€ a day allowance in Bakewell
Cons
Everything. The €10 a day isn’t worth it.

No breaks yet your docked
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Co meath - 19 April 2022
No breaks yet your docked for them, given holiday pay in ur wages when u haven't taken them. Expected to do the work of 2 people while working alone the whole time, I could keep going with a whole lot more, oh and management there on a different level. Plus timepoint is obviously been input into computer manually. Forget to clock out and your docked for the day
Pros
None
Cons
Long hours, no recognition or thanks for what you do, just use you and take u for granted.

Miserable
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Listowel, County Kerry - 1 March 2022
Working retail in Applegreen for 2 years have been nothing but miserable. Most workers including myself will be constantly mistreated by our manager and the customers. The fact they have a new job opening at least once a month is due to their mistreated of staff. Applegreen themselves clearly don't care about their minimum wage workers as long as they make a profit.
Cons
Mistreated by manager and customers, Minimum wage, No pay rise or bonus even during the first lockdown.
