Disappointing
General Operative (Former Employee) - Rotherham - 10 June 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedPoor management and lack of direction I expected more from such a large company But on a plus side there is a lot of friendly staff that will try and help you
Pros
Staff shop and canteen
Cons
Poor management
Was this review helpful?
No consistency
The job role itself is great but poor management skills and not addressing behaviours of colleges who are constantly off or on breaks is poor meaning you have to cover them as well as your own jobs…no chance of progression unless your related to management, managers have no people skills and talk to you with lack of respect.

Poor poor company
Prefer not to say (Former Employee) - Northampton, Northamptonshire - 25 June 2022
The union rule the roost, the senior managers are incompetent, they are constantly screwing the workers over to cover their own failings, you are made to feel inadequate

Very fast pace and little regard for workers
FOOD OPEREATIVE (Former Employee) - Northamptonshire - 8 June 2022
Good money, however pay wasn’t accurate, the money it cost me to travel to work outweighed the pay so I couldn’t stay on. Night shift have short breaks and on the line work was VERY fast pace with no regard for workers health and safety as some people were struggling to stand after a shift. Little to no training was given on the actual site, it was just a matter of learning as you go which proved difficult on a line with immigrate expectations. At the end of your shift they expect you to carry on. Some occasions you are not allowed to leave when your shift is meant to finish. Good for overtime however it felt very forced upon you

Lovely people. Fast paced environment
Line Controller (Current Employee) - Manton Wood - 3 June 2022
Great pay and benefits. Plenty of room for advancement. The only thing that let's it down is in house training in certain departments. They definitely need to focus more time and people in there.

Not a nice place to work
HGV Driver (Current Employee) - Tamworth, Staffordshire - 16 May 2022
You must suck up to management to get a good run, to much favouritism going on, drivers know everybody’s business. Staff gossiping about drivers wages
Pros

Cons
Dont know what your from 1 day to the next

Good company, chance of progress, development
Zone Manager (Current Employee) - Northampton - 15 May 2022
I love my job, sometimes it is pressure of time, workload. All depends of Manager and Department. I work with professional Managers and I often meet people that helps me develop my career. Chance of progression and continuous learning.

Jobs at GREENCORE
Not paying enough....
Machine Operator (Current Employee) - London - 12 May 2022
You are standing in the cold place 12h, to get 300£ a week when you worked 4days, just because you are working 4on 4off and one day is just gone somewhere...

Easy
Picker/Packer (Former Employee) - Tamworth - 7 May 2022

Great company to work for
HGV Class 1 Driver (Former Employee) - Hatfield/Worksop - 4 May 2022
Possibly the best Class 1 job you could get out there. 99% of the time load will be tipped for you. There is absolutely 0 loading done by drivers. Many employees benefits and stress free work environment. Never rushed around as a driver.
Pros
Very cheap healthy food options at work.
Cons
Can't think of anything really.

Greencore no teamwork and disorganised
IT (Current Employee) - Chesterfield, Derbyshire - 29 April 2022
worked here for a while and found the department to be constant fire fighting and disorganised, no structure and everybody in the department was blaming or pointing fingers at others when things went wrong, when it was just a poorly run department and incompetent managers.
Pros
on site parking
Cons
disorganised - poor managers - out of date documentation and now ownership with problems

Absolute shambles
Production Operative (Current Employee) - Worksop - 19 April 2022
The company acts professional at first, but quickly proves that they're all about the money and not about their employees at all. The management are a joke and the hierarchy is the place is pathetic and heavily against the greencore employees

Worst employer i ever had
Stand in Front Line Manager/ inbound operative (Former Employee) - Northampton - 5 April 2022
Management only cares about the sandwiches, HR dept is inapt. Pay issues, holiday issues, zero transparency, zero care. I would avoid this company at all costs

Do Not Bother.
Picker/Packer (Former Employee) - Dordon, Warwickshire - 5 April 2022
Always talking about meeting picking targets while the voice equipment are usually faulty. Too cold, you het used to it after a few weeks but it's not a healthy place to work. Used to have anxiety about targets and all on my way to work everytime. You don't have to be a lazy person, you just can't scatter a queue ahead of you just because you want your name written on the board for high pickrates.

No day the same

I've been here 4 months after spending 20 years in retail and I absolutely love it, like with any job it has its ups and downs but keep your head down and crack on and all is good, love the variety of routes and love seeing different places
Pros
Different locations
Cons
Some routes are very long
