I have received job offers from both Greggs and Sainsburys,which of course I'm very happy about! However I'm now stuck with which one to accept
I am under 18, so Greggs would pay me £5.37 (£5.55 after 12 weeks of training) which goes to £6.52 when I'm 18 in July. Completely forgot what Sainsbury's pay rate would be,but I've heard it's minimum wage and it goes up to £6.38 when I'm 18.
I applied to Greggs on the basis of a 5 hour weekend contract, however when I asked about hours in my interview she said I could work any hours I could fit in, in any store in my region. My Sainsbury's hours would total around 19 a week,but with it being a large supermarket I'm sure I would end up working more than that.
Also, Greggs is one 10 min bus ride away, costing me £2.10 on First or £2.30 on Arriva. Sainsbury's is a 30 min bus ride away costing me around £2.50 on Arriva. However I'd be earning enough at Sainsburys to fund this, whereas there is no guarantee for that at Greggs, since some weeks I may end up just working the 5 hours.
In short, which one do you think I should go for? I have no idea. My biggest aim is to save towards University which I have deferred til 2013, so working at Sainsburys would mean I'm making much more money. But heh,I'm still unsure
I am leaning towards Sainsburys, but then Greggs has so many benefits and is closer.Anyone worked for Greggs or Sainsburys before? Can you vouch for one more than the other? I am so lost. Also, If anyone knows for sure the Sainsburys pay rate for Under 18's, that would be great. Thanks to any answers
