Musgraves
At musgraves when i did my work experince the first day I arrived half hour early I met a guy in the lounge who had just finished his work experience the day before he told me he was there to collect a resume from them so he could update his CV ... A woman came out to him after an hour wait and told he would have to come back next week ill never forget hoow roude she was they used and exployted him .
Pros
Good for CV
Cons
You learn notting
Stay away from this place
I worked there in Kilcock for a year on the night shift. Was getting paid 9.50 an hour at the time. It was back breaking work. The pick rate was unrealistic. Accidents were quite common in there as people are racing around in there trying to hit the pick rate. Had alot of issues with the agency. They were rude and ignorant to deal with. Alot of rats in there who would report people for minor things just so they could climb up the ladder. You'd be paid flat rate for working the weekends. You‘d have team leaders walking around the warehouse making sure nobody is talking making it feel like a prison so moral in there is very low. The high turnover of staff is an indicator of how poor of a job this is. All in all its a terrible job and not good for your mental health. Its time the health and safety authority’s investigated this company and other warehouses like it. Its not good enough in this day and age.
Between 2 jobs?
Not bad as a temporary gig if for a sake of working between two jobs.
Most of positions are available for you to choose if you prefer to work in any of 3 shifts.

Depression central
If you work here your guaranteed depression, they’d rather fly in Croatians then pay Irish people a decent wage, the union is run by a load of old clowns who only look after themselves, it’s made very clear to you your just another number in there and can be easily replaced. Don’t do it to yourself. Hopefully the place goes bust they deserve it. Scraping poo stains off the jax would be a better job.
Worst place to work it's a work camp !
Management lying constantly. Cheating on Staff, their assignments time. Not a hope for anything else but picking. Discrimination towards new staff and giving favours to The old staff. No respect for staff at all.
Pros
None
Cons
Endless.
Very busy business
The hours are good and if you like meeting people then this is right up your street. The driving part of the job is very little, the most of the time you are dealing with customers while doing your delivery.
Poor operation
Business is so badly organised and ran that its frustrating and highly inefficient. Senior management are incompetent and their bosses have their heads so far in the clouds they've lost touch with what's happening. They hire people that have limited experience and don't know what they are doing. It could be a great place to work but they dont reward their people so their people get fed up and lose interestor just leave. They work people to the bone and still expect great results.
Pros
Going home.
Cons
Incompetent management that don't listen
Educational and fun
A good place to work, the management was very good to me while I was there. The hardest part would have been the deadlines but they were manageable. The enjoyable part was the benefits.
Hard work (Fonthill)
I disliked working at the company, because there was no normal work schedule.You stay on waiting list every day.......................................
Pros
No long hours
Cons
Job just on waiting list. No real work schedule. It is changes every day.
Poor
Only worked there for two days because they got hiring process wrong and hired to many people and just not a good environment to work just so bad to be fair
Pros
None
Cons
Everythifn
Great People, Ok place to work
There can be a lot of pressure in this company given that it's a busy retail environment. The pay is only ok but it's really the people that make it a good place to work.
Pros
People
Cons
Long Hours.
It's like working with your family at a fairly positive job.
Every day is pretty much the same. I was a general operative so would be either stacking shelves with goods or picking orders in cages for customers to have them delivered by truck. They work by the book which is good, there are no grey areas regarding protocol or rules so it's an easy job to carry out. Most of the time the fellow employees are fairly upbeat (the usual complaining about the job comes up but we knew it was more in a joking capacity). It was a messy job in the sense you'd be covered in all sorts of dust and dirt from working in the warehouse but this comes with the job. Customers are very respectful in 99% of cases because they're business customers. Management was mostly efficient. Supervisor had a habit of speaking about staff behind their backs and shouldn't have been there by any means but didn't affect the working day most of the time. No prospects of moving up the ladder really but wages did go up after a certain duration in their employment.
Pros
Just go in a do the job effectively and you'll be left alone
Cons
Supervisory & management had some unrealistic expectations when it came to certain targets.
Managers are the worst
Stay away if you know what's good for you management are the worst and employees don't want to be there. STAY AWAY AND KEEP YOUR SANITY this place is the worst in the world to work at I am glad to be gone out of it PURE KIP.
Pros
None
Cons
Everything
A fast paced enviroment where you work hard
Musgrave is a company where if you work hard you will be given the opportunity to advance and it has a good training and eduacational policy.
The hours are good- not always Mon to Fri, Saturdays are shared on a rota basis with two Sundays a year at Christmas.
There is late night working and this also is on a rota basis which is shared fairly. Newer employees do more late evening shifts with this changing for them as more employees are employed at different seasonal times.
As with all companys of this nature the employees with greater length of service have the best hours. This is not always fair as they are not neccessarily the hardest working.

great staff and management
I really enjoyed my time in Musgrave as my role was very varied and challenging. I enjoy learning new skills and working out complex reconciliations. my reason for leaving Musgrave was my position moved to the head office in Cork.
Pros
great working space
Not the best environment
Where to start
3/4 different types of contract in there
Sundays are part of your working week for Flat rate
You will work hard for your wages in here with so many managers and so many old contract lads doing what they want
