Pros
Great allocation. Good pay. Access to Britney and Juicy Couture fragrances etc which is nice to mix it up!
Cons
Was bullied for a year by a manager who was given the job over me (after I had been trained extensively and had been promised the job)... this pushy woman made my life hell by clicking her fingers at me, pushing me onto the shop floor, demeaning me for making low sales on days (it happens... it’s Arden!). She wasn’t reprimanded correctly due to her ability to push customers into sales and that’s all that mattered. I reported her behaviour many times with no actions - until one day I flipped and walked out, finally then I was relocated to another department store and finally got the job I enjoyed back with out being bullied. Since then she is still there, but continues to be hated by her peers around her and constantly has verbal fights with other counters over her behaviour. She has lost countless staff under her “lead” due to her doing the same thing that she did to me. There is a lot of pressure as it’s a high price point and smaller company, though they have great products there is a stigma that it is for old ladies, you have to really work hard for your sales to show a younger generation that it’s for all ages.
