RecommendsNegative OutlookI worked at Kathmandu part-time for more than a year
Pros
Loved the small, boutique feel of the shop. Everyone made a great team, and any conflicts were resolved courteously and professionally. Excellent at scheduling, never had an issue if I had to change. Loved my manager.
Cons
The hourly pay, even after a raise, was terrible at £7.20 per hour. Even working a 20 hour part time week, I wasn't close to being able to pay my bills, based on the London Living Wage.
