If i could rate it less i would
Till Assistant (Former Employee) – Warminster, Wiltshire – 20 April 2018
I worked for B&m last year, awful. Minimum hour contracts but expecting everyone to work over what they'd like to.. If they didn't want the extra work or said they couldn't do it management would put them down to absolute minimum hours (4 a week). 16 year old in at 6am and on 13 hour days working for under 5 pounds an hour. Understaffed. Management so clicky and related to each other it's uncomfortable. Manager in warminster store rude, vile and insults her employees indent of other employees. Underpay staff constantly.
Pros
Discount.
Cons
Minimum hour contracts. Management. Understaffed . Pay.
What a joke.
Shop Floor (Current Employee) – Stowmarket, Suffolk – 18 April 2018
Where to begin?
Corrupt management
Corrupt HR
Managers lying
Promoting the wrong people
Hiring criminals (people on lists who can't work in retail)
Managers leaving 3hours early
Don't work here unless you have someone in your family already working here so they can get you promoted.
Don't work here if you have ambition

Shop floor assistant (Former Employee) – Livingston, West Lothian – 15 April 2018
Was there on a course and the staff were great and very keen to help, learned how to stock shelves more efficiently from them and had a great feeling of a work environment. A bit difficult to find the way around the store to begin with but with help from everyone it was made easier. Always great to help a customer find something

Shop assistant (Former Employee) – Pontefract – 12 April 2018
As a valued member of the customer service team member I managed to demonstrate my outstanding people skills showing I am able to interact well with customers, listening and holding up a good professional conversation. By coming up with new sales techniques, which involved me taking the products to the customers and other colleagues around the store.

Shop Floor Assistant (Former Employee) – Runcorn, Cheshire – 8 April 2018
my job title was more work expierence with the promise of till training and possible job at the end of it although none were given it and all we did through day was stacking shelves.
we were told more training would be given but this wasnt true.
i personally diddnt enoy this wprk expierence as we diddnt learn anything from it and nobody who worked there guided us through day we was left to our own devices

Colleagues are brilliant, Management are a disgrace
Store Colleague (Former Employee) – Brighouse, West Yorkshire – 8 April 2018
I enjoyed my time at B&M, the people I worked with were brilliant, a good bunch, as for the management, totally useless, two of them talk down to you, bully you, and make you feel small, I'm glad I have left this company.
Pros
Collegues
Cons
Management
proctive
Sales Assistant and progressed to Floor Supervisor (Former Employee) – Stevenage – 6 April 2018
the job was enjoyable when apart of warehouse staff the challenges were exciting to work towards your targets. are so long tho the amount of stock arriving was to much for the warehouse to handle and most didn't go out to shop floor which made stocking items in the small warehouse a bigger and almost impossible challenge.
overall fun to work there but some of the staff aren't well motivated and are lazy lots of rumors made up around the work place which made an stale environment.

staff could be unfair to one another
Very sub standard
College Trainee (Former Employee) – Falkirk – 4 April 2018
I thought when working in B&M it was a very standard shop an getting through the wrok day was fine. The staff were all nice people, maybe slightly boring but nice. The working conditions were also fine.
poor mangament
shop floor assistant (Current Employee) – Pool, Cornwall – 3 April 2018
the team at b&m are great! they try their best and get on with the work but because of poor mangament they can only do so much before something uninspiring and deflating is said by higher members of the team. such a shame, could have been a lovely store
Pros
the team
Cons
the supervisors
Good workplace, minimum wage
Floor Assistant (Former Employee) – Milton Keynes – 31 March 2018
B&M is usually a relatively relaxing work environment, the managers and other staff are friendly and helpful.
Although it is minimum wage, fixed hours are given ensuring that you earn a fixed amount each month.
Professional and positive workplace, would recommend if you aren't looking for great pay.

Shop Assistant (Former Employee) – Leeds, West Yorkshire – 31 March 2018
I really enjoyed working in this sort of environment, there was many jobs, such as working on the tills and stocking. Never too busy but never too quiet, always something to do and never stood around. I want a job I can enjoy and be active in.
Pros
Stocking
Cons
The hours I finished
Its been difficult.
B&M shop floor assistant (Current Employee) – Stevenage, Hertfordshire – 29 March 2018
working unsuitable hours with no financial reward to show for it and putting a burden on those I care about as a result. little to no respect from management in regards to professional and personal issues I faced and I had 5 months of supervisor training that was only meant to last a single month. furthermore members of the day team were allowed to not only leave work on time but were allowed to finish regardless of whether or not they completed their job, which we then had to rectify with the high chance of leaving late.
Pros
met some decent people on my team.
Cons
as mentioned above and more.
Holiday
Customer Service Assistant (Current Employee) – Beccles, Suffolk – 20 March 2018
I booked a holiday with my work a month ago to have this week off I was off last week due to doctors signing me off for a week. I should have this week off as holiday but I have been told that I can't have my holiday. Can they remove my holiday
Productive
Night Replenishment temporary (Former Employee) – Lowestoft – 19 March 2018
Good company to work for, would like to work there permanently if there is opportunity arrives. Every shift was productive but some days they weren't due to no deliveries came that day.
Overall Exprience
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) – Sheffield, South Yorkshire – 15 March 2018
My expierience at B&M was a good although it was only a temp job for the holidays i worked as hard as i possible could and arrived on time for my shifts.
