Svantaggi
I have been working for Farmfoods for 5 years . I've been to so many different stores and helped the company out a lot. I started as a retail assistant and I'm now a store manager. I do enjoy a challenge but it is a lot more than just a challenge working as a store manager. It has basically taken over my life. I start at 6 am and earliest finish I get is 530 pm. Most of the time I finish later. Your entitled to two days off but I barely ever get that. Work 7 days some weeks. I am on a salary so what ever hours I work I get paid the same. 45 hour contract and I work 70 hours some weeks. No breaks. And no appreciation off anyone. They expect you to produce the best store. With as little staff as possible. Having to cope with running a store with just 3 people all day. Deliveries are unpredictable. The drivers are sometimes hours late. Which then put you behind for the day. Last few months I've just constantly been tired and worn out,so even on days off I can't be assed to do a thing. This really isn't me over exaggerating,it's just saying it how it is. If you want to give up your life for work then this really is the job for it. As much as my standards are high and my store is in great condition. There is only so much a human being can take before they call it a day ....
