Steer clear!
Customer Service Assistant (Former Employee) - Buckie - 17 January 2022
If you value yourself and your mental health steer well clear of Savers. There was no training just watch someone else do everything on the computer and be expected to pick it up straight away. Management talking about other colleagues to you and about you to other colleagues nothing is confidential! I should have been looking for something else when a very long standing colleague left to go elsewhere. Colleagues and management who smoke standing right outside the shop - not a good look to potential customers. Hands down has to have been the worst place I've ever worked in 30 years even the area manager didn't speak to staff or introduce herself to you when you met for the first time.
Pros
A couple of decent staff members
Cons
Promised hours but then don't get them, advised that you were told you weren't getting the hours, when you've got proof of messages sent between you!

Great management team to work for,happy busy workplace and friendly loyal customers
Retail Sales Assistant (Current Employee) - Dundee,wellgate centre saver's - 16 January 2022
Saver's is an excellent company to work for.we have a great team in our store and work well together.full flexibility is expected with rota's ,but rota's always fairly done.average hourly rate of pay for retail!! Plent of veriety in tasks,IE working on tills,working on shop floor filling shelves and working delivery on store delivery days.
Pros
Good staff discount, from our sister companies.the management are very accomodating with rota's if needed.
Cons
Not enough of a budget for staff to do overtime and therefore earn more money.

Fast paced
Store manager (Former Employee) - Bridgwater, Somerset - 2 January 2022
Can be very stressful but like all other retail can be a good place . If the team work with you and get on then It all can be very happy . When the staff drop the ball it’s all comes back on the manager
Pros
No many unfortunately, people you work with
Cons
Unrealistic targets too hit 2021 was based on 2019. 2020 was a little bumpy but we did still have it

In all honesty, quite poor!
Management (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 2 January 2022
The only thing keeping me with the company is job security, that and the team I work with. Started off really well as a Sales Assistant then got promoted to Supervisor not long after which is where I made the biggest mistake of my life! Being a member of management is horrendous! Managers constantly moan about each other, pick and choose days off to suit them while leaving everyone else in the proverbial. Company constantly move goalposts to make it almost impossible to achieve any bonuses, eg. Our budget for 2021 year is up against 2019 because apparently 2020 wasn’t a real year! No annual pay rise because they “lost money” even though they kept us open as key workers so people could buy essential items such as perfumes, alcohol, nail varnish and hair dyes? So regular sales assistants get a bump in the national living wage yet I get the same as last year which isn’t much more than they get! They also told us that they want us to “spend as much time with your families over Christmas” yet stayed open on Boxing Day.. Bank holidays are always dead no matter what store you go into yet they always keep us open to grab as many pennies as possible! If you want a part time job, go for it but I can totally see why so many new managers come and go after a few months.
Pros
Team spirit and delivery shifts
Cons
Poor work/life balance. Pay.

Lovely place to work but more work is needed to the company
Sales Assistant (Current Employee) - Birkenhead, Merseyside - 27 December 2021
I am so lucky to have an amazing management team in my store, they are so supportive and understanding with my needs, after my apprenticeship they gave me an 8 hour contract which isn't particularly ideal however I a still happy here and I get loads of overtime. During my apprenticeship I was basically trained up to be a supervisor however I was not given, or even offered the job when there was a position available despite being told I am well suited to the role. It is an extremely nice place to work, however there is a lack of progression in the company and it does get slightly annoying to sell things at the till as it almost feels as if we will loose our jobs if we don't do so, but I do know that its just the area manager pushing us to do better. Lastly, the pay isn't ideal, with the little contracted hours I am earning nowhere near enough to live on.
Pros
Amazing staff members, feels almost like a family.
Cons
No progression in company, understaffed, little contracted hours.

Too much stress and pressure
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - York, North Yorkshire - 15 December 2021
You are constantly under pressure to actively sell and meet targets, and are belittled (in front of customers) if you don’t. Management change shifts without letting anyone know.
Pros
Up to 30% off in Superdrug
Cons
Pressure Disrespectful management Low pay

Not a nice place to work
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Houghton le Spring, Tyne and Wear - 14 December 2021
Hard to get stability in this job , don’t think about what the staff want or need , it’s all about savers and pushing sales every minute of every day , to much training not enough concern for staff.
Pros
None
Cons
They give you hours when they need you. Then drop you like a stone when they dont need you .
