What is the organisational culture at Screwfix?
If you’re in your 20/ early 30’s, male and rubbish at your job you’ll get promoted. Managers do sweet FA day to day. Too many cooks.Asked 13 April 2017

What is the Screwfix employee discount?
20% at Screwfix and B&Q. There are very strict guidelines about the fact that only you can use it. For family and friends you are supposed to 'gift' items (although how this is enforceable is beyond me). Some special offers are not applicable- you can have the special offer or staff discount, not both.Asked 4 March 2017

If you were in charge, what would you do to make Screwfix a better place to work?
Make it a fairer place to work. Move away from the “if you’re face fits” culture, and treat people accordingly for the skill set they actually have.Stop encouraging in store relationships that end up with shift rotas becoming very biased, with partners having select shifts.Stop pretending that you know what it’s like to work at a screwfix branch, you clearly have no idea!Work in store for a month, with no premeditated scenarios for you to act along to. Suffer the abuse from customers because they have been let down again.Asked 25 October 2018
