Susie Barker, Graduate Recruitment Manager, Waitrose

......When I began looking at companies to apply to after graduation, I wanted to work for a business that would not only look to me as an individual, that could influence, but one that would provide me with a challenging environment on a daily basis. It was this, along with my passion for food that brought me to Waitrose and my current position as Graduate Recruitment Manager. Having started as a Graduate Trainee myself in March 2004, I have a real insight into the scheme that is able to provide every trainee with a flexible training plan tailored to meet the individuals needs.
In addition to the comprehensive provision of training, Waitrose offers a uniquely different approach to the way our business is run. We are a Co-ownership and because of this everyone that works for us can have a say in its running. One of the benefits in managing a business this way is that we don't have shareholders and consequently enjoy the division of the company's profits. Last year this was 18% of your annual salary. Further benefits that you are able to look forward to are: five weeks holiday per year, non-contributory pension after five years' service, life assurance, discounts in both Waitrose and John Lewis, subsidised social and leisure activities and the chance to gain further qualifications. Being a Partnership, Waitrose believes that a work life balance is essential and it is for this reason that an offer in addition to remuneration is essential when providing an all round package.
