Anyone worked at sainsburys?

[Ladygaga]

I'm thinking of applying for a job there.

What is it like? Pay? etc?

Thanks!

[Sunny.]

my cousin n sis do.

Pretty boring, but depends on what part you work at.
Pays crap until your 18+

[Joe!]

I work there, on the checkouts. Think I get £4.54 an hour, something like that :] Which isn't bad considering all I have to do is sit there and pass items through a till. It's also a nice place to work, the management and staff are really nice. You should apply.

[Charlie]

I worked there for like two shifts. It was boring as, I always had to work in the cold section and it hurt my hands and most of the people were 10x my age.

But yeah, go for it.

I have no idea what a sainsbury is but if it is your first job, then i think you should go for it.. can't be that bad?

It's a supermarket ;)

[Blinger1]

thats where pretty much all teenagers start in melbourne, their local supermarket :)

[Skajo]

I work at Morrisons, I'm 17 and get paid £5.09 p/h.

My mate works at Sainsbury's and he 'enjoys' it.

[Ladygaga]

i'm 16. This would be my 4th job.

[JackBuddy]

Apply regardless of what people say. Jobs are hard to get at the moment.

[Ladygaga]

just rang sainsburys, they dont have any jobs! where else should i look at?

[today]

Asda seem to be taking on alot of people lately.

[Immenseman]

Our Asda only take 18+ or 17+ if you can work full time. My mate works in Sainsburys and loves it and never shuts up about it :lol:

[Blinger1]

I am sure KFC or mcdonalds will hire people??

Thats a all time low.

[Ladygaga]

Already worked at mcdonalds! hated it.

[IceNineKills]

I hate it when people say they hate their job because it's boring but never try and do anything to make it fun. I work in Burger King for £4.65 an hour, it's a stressful job but we always make sure we have a laugh whilste working to make our shifts bareable.

[today]

I'm at Schuh, sure its small and it gets a wee bit borin goin for shoes, same ones all the time!! But talking to the customers make it more funn

And the fact im on £5.85 is a bonus.

[Ladygaga]

I like my current job dont get me wrong.

[Blinger1]

Thats a all time low.
any income is better then no income??

[today]

any income is better then no income??

same!!! although my wage increased randomly one week?! but 2 more months and ill be on more!

[JackBuddy]

Beggers can't be choosers! The ideal time for part time work is just before christmas but that seems to have passed now.

It may be a long few months!

[Ladygaga]

its a full time job mate. not part time.

[HighFlight]

i'm 16. This would be my 4th job.

[Ladygaga]

1) Working in an hotel/bar.
2) Working at Mcdonalds
3) Working in a childs play center.

[James!]

When you're under 18 they can pay you whatever you like. I wouldn't get out of bed for £4.54 an hour tbh, but I guess if you need the money go for it.

[Ladygaga]

james, im currently on 3.75 lol

[leah]

My friend has before and she said it was good and the pay was alright

[Ashley 12344]

james, im currently on 3.75 lol

I started on that (work part time at BHS).
Its boring as hell but theres some alright lasses there, liven it up a little.

Sainsbury's take people online, so I'd just keep checking that as a start.

Take any job you can, they're kinda hard to get these days. Having already had 3 jobs before you've turned 17 is kinda bad. It kind of makes me wonder if your even committed to a job, if you can't commit yourself to a job then no one is going to employ you.

[PaintYourTarget]

I'm at Tesco for £5.45 an hour, £8.18 on Sundays, goes up to £6.50/£9.75 when I turn 18 in May and to be fair, it's an amazing job - awesome people, good management, I get dumped with running the department on Sundays but it's all good practice like. Ours is quite a small store so it's really hard to get jobs but it's really tight and everyone knows each other so I can't really say what it'd be like at a bigger store.

[Smiddy]

If you got a Somerfield near ya, gaurenteed pay of £5.73, good wage for a 16 y/o.
But they do their payment on positions, not age. So don't stick around much after 18 unless you wanna go higher!

[alexxxxx]

I wouldn't work for £3.75/hr.

[today]

Work at Schuh, £6.08 for under 18's :)

On the other hand it shows she has had experience in 2 or 3 different areas of work and customers.
I'd see if there's positions on Sainbury's website if you haven't already or any other place actually (yes in general :P). Good luck anyway I guess :)
