Harrods Reviews

Pros

Inclusive, working hard to modernise, focused and passionate

Cons

Always seek to be progressive in an ever changing retail market - not a con, just a focus

Pros

Good Enviroment. Good Salary and commission.

Cons

Lack of management. Not easy grow up

Pros

Great discount and perks. Full time works 37.5h not 40. Canteen with great prices for staff but food isn't that great tho

Cons

The over hierarchical structure, bureaucracy and failure to recognise these as issues makes completing work difficult. There is a real lack of understanding of what is going on at ground level, and it would well be worth taking the time to listen. No recognition Very old fashioned in terms of people policies Unrealistic workloads and expectations A bit of internal politics Some disorganisation in cascading important communication to the whole team in a timely manner Not always easy to approach managers It can be a real challenge to juggle expectations as standards are high. Issue with hierarchy, senior management are out of touch No recognition of good work Probation period puts you under high scrutiny that makes you believe you're not good enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Senior managers are very rude and arrogant. Horrible management. Rude managers, need to be able to communicate without being condescending and patronising. No option to progress unless English is your first language!

Pros

You work for an iconic brand that everyone knows Staff discounts on occasion can be pretty good I wasn't there long enough to utilise them, but they do have some good training modules you can enrol in

Cons

The work environment is very sterile, there are poor amenities (such as no kitchen or break out area). The work isn't very stimulating because you don't feel especially valued, even coming in with fresh ideas - there's very much a feeling of "this is how it is and this is how we like it".

Pros

Good people support and opportunities to move and develop around the business.

Cons

Lack of career progression, key reason for employees to leave their job.

Pros

- Acceptable staff discount - Looks good on CV

Cons

- Patronising management - Very little room for progression and recognition if English is not your first language! - High turnover of staff and no discipline
