Nice workmates

Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Leicester, Leicestershire - 21 August 2023

Ok job! Long hours used to be brilliant but since going on continentals it’s become hard. The workmates are brilliant and to be honest if not for the shift change I would never have left

Good place to work

Manufacturing Technician (Current Employee) - Leicester, Leicestershire - 18 June 2023

I have worked here for nearly 4 years and overall the place is good for the money. It is very hard to progress unless you play the game keep your head down and don't make waves. People are excellent and mostly welcoming. Management are too focused on the next projects and not at the needs of the employees to produce a quality product.

horrible atmosphere. friendly work force but the Shop floor management need to sort themselves out.

General Operative (Former Employee) - Skelmersdale - 7 June 2023

The work is easy enoughA typical day in the life of Walkers workers is: you enter the factory a few minutes prior to the shift start fo change over. You start at 6 and operate various machines in the manufacture of crisps and other snack products. monetering the machines to ensure the smooth continuous running of the machine making minor repairs and adjustments as necessary.What I learned is dont work thereThe hardest part of the job is the long hours and shift pattern.best thing is the time off

Pros

Staff Shop selling their products. days off

Cons

Long hours, working bank holidays if your shift coincides, Not paid adequatley for shift Pattern, 12 hour shifts continental pattern, products in shop limited, and usually near sell by date

Boring job, disappointing project

Data Analyst (Contract) (Former Employee) - London (WFH) - 18 May 2023

I worked in a Data Entry project for almost two years. The colleagues were the best part, everyone was really nice, but everyone was working from home, which makes your days really sad. As we were contractors, they never organized anything, like a meetup, or offered any discounts in products or any other perks for working for a multinational. It was also the way we were treated, they were never transparent with when would our contracts end or where we were at with the project. I thought that the managers and seniors were not well organized and it made our jobs tedious with any lack of decision. Another disappointing thing is that I wouldn't even get a reference from my Manager, as the company policy doesn't allow them to, regardless how good you worked for them

Good place to work

Production Operative (Current Employee) - Cupar - 25 January 2023

Easy enough job and the pay is good. You work a 2-3-2 shift pattern across 2 weeks which isn't for everyone but does give you plenty of days off. Staff are friendly and there's plenty of chances to advance if you want to.

Pros

Good pay

Cons

Shift pattern

Too many managers and they still can't manage.

General Operator (Former Employee) - Leicester - 24 January 2023

Honestly, the GOs and MTs could run the factory. Management only interested in self progression. Clear double standards between management and general staff. There is no recognition for carrying out good work. Short staffed because of the way people are treated, causing those who stay to pick up extra workload. They are always trying to make us do the work faster, but if you make a mistake and hurt yourself? You'll face blame and disciplinary action.Unsecured lockers, so you have to risk your belongings each day Not allowed off site, and no outside space except for smoking area.Agency staff are treated awfully. Payed sick policy but, if you use it, you will be disciplined. The list goes on. Woeful place to work.

Pros

Not many

Cons

Too many

Toxic place to work money is good

Multi functional warehouse operator (Current Employee) - Leicester - 9 January 2023

12hr shifts too long. Physically hard work picking being the hardest. Can get promotion for the selected ones who will sell there mothers out for a quick buck. Performance must be 💯 for pickers which is a challenge as each pick is timed and due to issues with stock, equipment and generally low moral of the place is very unlikely you would hit that consistently. Management are only interested in there personal development no care for staff who work instead they are criticised for not performing while others get away with less physically demanding jobs. Very toxic atmosphere rubbish SLT recently changed to conti pattern adds to the misery I can go on but leave it at that.

Bad management

General Operator (Current Employee) - Leicester, Leicestershire - 8 December 2022

Management don’t really care about anything, they just want to achieve target doesn’t matter how you do it. Have to work with faulty equipments even after the management is informed it takes ages for them to resolve issues.Training structure for new recruits is really bad, some workers are asked to work without validation.Pay is good but to be honest it’s a night allowance which makes it good. Too many roles in the company which are really not required people all over the place on higher pay doing nothing even after having all this different roles still work orders are pending, repairs pending, complaints are not looked into , only people who really work are the general operators.

Management is terrible

Sales Development Representative (Former Employee) - Herefordshire - 25 November 2022

Being a young adult is something management doesn’t want you to be independent and working with own intent of success.Always the way they want you to work and not coming up with effectively methods that are proven.If you are a rep and late to a shop due to traffic be prepared to get disciplined.Off for mental health reason and in such a state that my manager at the time expects me to call her about how I am. Again expect to be disciplined. Management is a joke and always expect you to go out of your way for them.Never truly cared about myself and was even warned before I joined about my manger with her track recorded with young staff.

Remote work option available.

Data Entry (Current Employee) - United kingdom - 17 August 2022

The workload is not much and is easily manageable. The pay for the job is fair; however not sufficient for the increasing cost of living. Flexible deadlines for work, not stressful at all.

Pros

Work from Home. Flexible deadlines

Cons

Chances of progression are low

Had its moments

Route Sales Representative (Former Employee) - United Kingdom - 3 August 2022

Worked doing the van sales for walkers. There shouldn’t be a sales aspect of this…. It’s more a delivery driver for the stores. Since it is sales there’s targets to hit which is of overall revenue sold for the month but also tacticals which are specific product lines to sell. The problem with the tacticals is most can be of the slow moving lines which don’t sell as well. There’s only so much you can sell to a store if the public are not buying them as they’ll only go out of date, which means having to swap them out when they do but then you’re limited to how much stock you’re allowed to use to swap. The base salary is actually quite decent and the commission bonus is generous too……. Assuming you actually hit it. They have a habit of as soon as you hit your target they’ll move the goalpost the very next month making it harder to hit. Now I get thats what sales is but do it end of the year or quarter not whenever they feel like. You always have to work so hard and only just scrap by to them move the target. Make you work more, longer hours all for the same results.

Apalling

General Operator (Former Employee) - Leicester - 17 July 2022

Absolutely horrendous place to work. If you are a front line worker, you will be treated with absolute contempt. The management teams have no regard for worker health and safety. Avoid this company.
