Very Depressing
Distribution Warehouseman (Current Employee) – Enfield – 11 August 2017
I have worked faithfully for JLP for many years. First in Watford and then to Enfield. Since moving to Enfield gradually the working environment has worsened. It is such that I no longer enjoy going to work. Despite being into my 19th year the so called 6 months off is being gradually removed and all employees feel undervalued. I feel I need to be in an environment that makes me happy.
Pros
Bonus but that has been eroded over last 3 years
Cons
Start at 6am, No Canteen, 1 Hours drive
productive and fun work place

Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) – Northampton, Northamptonshire – 23 April 2017
Worked at John Lewis' Northampton warehouses from Oct 2016 to Jan 2017. Full-time, shifts were 6am-2pm for one week, 2pm-10pm the other week.
Management are helpful when needed and the job pays well for warehouse work. It is a grind though, personally I could only do this part-time again. Full-time is too much of a grind in this kind of work.

Good Natured Productive Work Place
Warehouse Assistant (Former Employee) – Park Royal Greater London – 7 March 2017
Receiving and despatching goods, making sure stock goes to the right outlets, checking for damaged goods.
I learned how our department worked and how it affected other areas, to do the job to the best of my abilities.
Management were strict but fair, and would go out of their way to help if you had a problem be it within the warehouse or personal.
The hardest part was getting up at 5am in the morning to start work,
the most enjoyable part was knowing all your tasks had been done with no handover to the next shift.

Warehouse Assistant (Former Employee) – London, Greater London – 3 March 2017
John Lewis partnership is a respected retail company that has branches all over England,Scotland and one in Wales. They also own Waitrose supermarket group. When you have passed your initial assessment period you become a partner in the company with all the benefits that come with it including discounts, profit sharing and access to company leisure benefits and clubs. The opportunity to advance your career within the company is available to everyone and the training that you receive is of the highest level. I found the working hours very suitable for a good work/ life balance and the work environment very friendly and encouraging. Many people like myself have spent most of their working lives with the company which i think explains why they are such a highly rated company to work for.
Pros
Staff discount, Annual Bonus, subsidised meals and subsidies to various clubs and events.
Cons
None
