Morrisons Manufacturing Employee Reviews

Good culture in manufacturing sites, great teams and easy going environmentPay rises non existent, no appreciation from managers for the effort and work being put in, no progression opportunities unless you are one of the liked ones. No bonus payment. Used to be stable business but things have now changed as it's not going well

Doing so much better mentally since leaving

contract worker (Former Employee) - Europarc, lakeside grimsby - 21 November 2023

No such thing as privacy and confidentiality, if you have something wrong and let a manager know then all the managers and 90% of the factory will know your business before you are even back or better. If you have a problem they'll roughly help you but if you have a health condition better off finding elsewhere.

Good place to work

Maintenance Engineer (Current Employee) - Bradford - 27 August 2023

It’s a good place, people are friendly and approachable. It’s a shame that higher up bosses made this decision to move the production and pick to Thrapston.

Pros

Friendly staff, canteen food at discounted price

Cons

Very physical and cold job

Work can be very physical at times but can also be very easy on some days, however as an agency worker it can sometimes mean that work cannot be guaranteed on certain days

Physical and Cold job

Terrible place to work

Former Colleague (Former Employee) - Grimsby - 26 January 2023

Used to be a great place to work, over recent years it's become a dictatorship with no care for colleague welfare. Expect the same output with minimal staff, putting extra strain and pressure on remaining colleagues

Flaxby

Production Operative (Current Employee) - Knaresborough, North Yorkshire - 15 January 2023

Awful place to work. Ive been there just over a year and it has changed drastically. Powerful them and us attitude between workers and management, staff being paid higher rates for doing different job that they can't do, warehouse staff underpaid for the amount of physical work they do, understaffed and the staff they get are not fit to be in society. Poor equipment, poor ideas from management who don't have a clue how things are run and who are so quick to pass the buck when something goes wrong, the site run by someone who is blinded by reality. Overall, if you're desperate for a job, come here but I wouldn't recommend it.

Pros

Free parking

Cons

Long hours

Bad place to work

Fork Lift Truck Driver (Current Employee) - Knaresborough - 22 September 2022

Very bad place to work. Pressure because all machine’s and robots are all time broken. Managers running and shouting. Not enough people to work. There are dangerous now ones care about health and safety.

Repetitive

Manufacturing operative (Former Employee) - Thrapston - 1 August 2022

The atmosphere reeks of depression, nobody talks and you are doing the same task day in day out. Its way more repetitive than any other warehouse job and its horrible.

Challenging environment

All manufacturing sites are very busy. The Morrisons have family friendly policy in place so its quite easy to share the job with other half to look after children etc.Many benefits have been taken away.

Pros

Sick pay

Cons

Very high staff turnover, lack of investment.

Very productive, & fun work place.

Machine Operator (Former Employee) - Northwich, Cheshire - 10 January 2021

It's a hard working, fast paced & fun work place where people work together from different Nationalities. It's A huge massive size work place, where we're on move on feet wich keeps us so fit.😎 Management is taking care of the staff and do listen all the issues carefully. One of the best team I have ever worked with.

Pros

Free coffee in this pandemic & free breakfast sometimes to appreciate the staff.

Cons

Long hours on move on feet wich helps to keep you fit.

No training, no direction, no loyalty.

Nightshift Industrial Cleaner (Former Employee) - Turriff - 7 September 2020

Once you've picked up the job, on your own initiative as there's no training, the job itself is quite enjoyable. The supervisor is there for no reason i could make out and the management is poor to say the least.Don't expect to be treated fairly and you're definitely not appreciated.

Pros

Easy job

Cons

Management

Wouldn't do it again

Team Manager (Former Employee) - Grimsby, Lincolnshire - 4 July 2020

It was more of a self learning job. No support fron senior management as they are not fully trained. They don't have anything to offer. I would never do the job as a team manager within Grimsby Morrisons manufacturing.

I was employed as a very senior level

Technical Manager (Former Employee) - UK - 19 June 2020

I was there a short period, due to being removed from my post for some random reasons. My own manager was busy spreading untruths about me from my very first day, and it turns out one of them really wanted my job but was not experienced enough yet. The whole disciplinary process was done and dusted within 6-7 working days, that is 3 'probationary review meeting'. I had barely got my email to work and they were asking me to leave. For a very senior manager, this is ridiculous, next, no one could decide who had the authority to sack me so they just sacked me anyway. I was probably one of the most senior ethnic employees at Morrisons, and I did wonder before joining why, but now I know. They go on about the Morrisons culture and either you will love it and stay forever or you won't and you will be gone. What they missed out was telling new applicants, to "watch your back" and cover your butt. I reached out to Central HR and employee relations and they told me to 'job on', later found out that they had discussed my private reach-out email with my manager. Terrible place to work, but good pay and perks.

Pros

Salary Package

Cons

Morrison Culture which none explains

Good place

Manufacturing Operator (Current Employee) - Spalding, Lincolnshire - 19 May 2020

Fantastic managers, plenty of opportunities to progress (butcher, QC, line leader, manager) etc and I found all managers to be supportive of this. It is hard work but it’s a team effort.

They dont care about their staff

Production Operative (Former Employee) - Healing - 1 February 2020

Payed me less than minimum wage for over 6 months and are now saying it was part of my back pay for 2019 payrise. Managers expect you to do their work then blame you when it goes wrong, not to mention the rude people at head office who couldn't even take the time of day to sent me the information I've been asking for for over 3 weeks...

Never again

Operations Manager (Former Employee) - Manufacturing - 9 January 2020

Worst company i have ever worked for. Safety culture was shameful - the leadership team gave safety lip service only. The key focus was solely profit at any cost. Culturally Morrisons thrives on senior manager bullying junior staff.
