Pros

Honestly none other than discount

Cons

the whole management is a clique, they are so rude and don’t even acknowledge the sales advisors unless you were apart of the clique, the managers are so lazy it’s unbearable, the floor would often be so busy and uncontrollable and the store manager would walk down stairs do a lap of the shop floor then go back up to her office, there was no support what so ever! If you do end up working here expect to be practically forced to do overtime and go over your contracted hours for management that don’t even appreciate it! Not 90% employee discount can justify working for the place!. When I started It was my first retail job- which I stated, so therefore I thought I would get training, pfft did I get it wrong, there was no training what so ever, you ‘shadowed’ a member of staff for one day, there is no training plan, what so ever. So unless you have worked in retail before and know what to do your going to struggle. They would give 17 year olds management perks, such as bossing others around which they loved, I didn’t really see the one girl doing much expect walking around with the rota all day bossing people around, but obviously she was apart of the ‘clique’ so that was ok for her to do. Honestly the worst place ever, they also hired loads of people for temporary staff and in the interviews they were told they were likely to be kept on, however when it came to it they kept no one on except the cousins of a member of the ‘clique’, coincidence considering she was only there 3 weeks and got kept on? Honestly if you want to work somewhere where you feel valued and supported then this isn’t the place for you.
