Pros

At dunelm you are most certainly not a 'number' you are a person who will end up becoming a member of the dunelm family with plenty of opportunities and encouragement to progress further in your career with Dunelm. Once you start you won't want to leave. Most definelty without a doubt the best company I've worked for!

Cons

There are no cons in my opinion.

Advice to Management

Carry on doing what you are doing.

Pros

Great staff benefits. Decent wages for shops. Extra days off for birthday, moving house, kids first day at school. Able to to buy extra hols if needed

Cons

Extra hols not always guaranteed, due to availability. Expect a lot from.their team leaders

Advice to Management

They do pay a great rate for team leaders although we are expected to do the same job as the managers. They do tend to throw £10 an hr down your throat a lot. Some managers and area managers can be very defensive. I think this is due to there passion towards the company. However sometimes they need to look from the colleagues perspective sometimes

Advice to Management

Do some work yourself

Pros

Fast paced. Dunelm does not just sit back. Something changes everyday and i love that. It's the little things, like getting 5 minutes chat with your chief executives to really make you feel more that just a number and that you matter. I have free reign to be creative with my store displays to get the best out of the store to take money I love my job and enjoy it mostly everyday Birthday day off Charity day off...

Cons

Sometimes there is a lot of task to be done in one week. And it can be quite hard at this time of the year due to holidays

Advice to Management

Just had new management and it's going well so far

Pros

Great opportunity for development and progression. Everyone I've met from store though to area management are really welcoming happy and inspiring people who are passionate about what they do. Lots of training and support is given to help in jobs role. Company has good values a clear focused strategy for the future.

Cons

Colleagues may end up working a lot of hours over contracted hours which is good for some but not others due to personal commitments.

Advice to Management

Agreements on flexible contracts. Online scheduling and overtime which would also be easyer for colleagues to access from home and helps communicate to colleagues whom may not be in store for periods of time any changes or overtime opportunities.which also helps will equal opportunitys in work place.
