Debenhams Reviews

Cons

Certain pressure to sell accounts and meet daily targets

Cons

lack of overtime - impacted overall pay

Cons

Constantly being scheduled in for 5 hour shifts so no break time would be given, manager would change shifts around all the time without letting you know, consta pressured into singing people for Debenhams mastercard

Cons

Older staff are rude and expect you to run around after them. They staff don't let you drink water on shift as it is "unprofessional". Customers can be rude also. No staff discount for seasonal workers. Toilets are dirty.

Cons

Nasty managers who only care about accounts
Unfair shifts

Cons

Not many opportunities for overtime

Cons

Minimal progression available - people in my store had the skills to be a Supervisor but were stuck on Senior Sales Advisor. Underpay staff aswell.

Cons

Standing up for long periods of time. Boring when unpacking boxes for hours.

Cons

Not enough equipment, i.e. coffee machines, tills, cleaning equipment.

Cons

Sometimes people will find ways to skip the work they have been given and have other people do it for them or leave it for the people to come into work the next day.
Management isn't that well organised (I was asked if I wanted more hours - which I said yes to- but that hasn't happened and it's been a good few months from that point onwards.
There was always a constant need to push the Debenhams credit card and if you failed to meet your targets for each department, you get sent to other departments to try and get them for your floor. All in all, it's a stressful situation if you are in that position.
