Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Iceland Frozen Foods to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Since starting my job at Iceland, I have been given a reward for my efforts in being a team player, helping out and covering shifts at short notice... I have never been given anything at any other job I have had, so its nice to be noticed for the extra effort you're putting in. I have also had a few gift vouchers on different occasions to use instore as a thank you for working during Covid-19, so that's been fab, as its been hard on all staff. Overall I feel it is a brilliant company to work for.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Iceland Frozen Foods?
Be prepare to put in the work as Iceland is a busy store and you will always have something to do.
