Pavers Shoes Reviews

Pros

Remain true to family run virtues. All senior management are friendly, supportive and approachable. Pavers make me feel valued, listened to and promote direct candour. Celebrate success and recognise teams/ individuals. Generous staff discount.

Cons

Down to economic changes customers expectations can be demanding. Now have too many shoes in my wardrobe.

Pros

Nothing used to have nice shies but they are now over priced and poor quality

Cons

Poor management and even worse leadership. Give out and give nothing back Virtually every staff member is looking for another job Low pay and no commission yet continually getting grief about selling shoecare

Pros

Nothing - it seemed a good idea at the time as I like the shoes

Cons

Too many to list but avoid if you can. Not caring and slave labour. The management just give orders and expect you to manage on limited staffing, no breaks and full on stress levels and all they bang on about is shoecare and harassing staff if they dont get KPIs every week - was a great company when Cathy was alive as she genuinely cared about her employees but it’s all bottom line now with no thought to to people doing all the work !!!!

Pros

You get your wages on time

Cons

No on listens despite saying they do

Pros

Half price footwear was a bonus

Cons

Toxic work environment Expected to sell extras all the time Horrible management team

Pros

Some lovely people, very willing to help in most situations and able to provide some training.

Cons

Pay was poor (my last pay was incorrect — still incorrect as of now!). Unreasonable pay for being in customer services / sales. Very regular 'office drama' — employees would often bring external arguments into the office which often caused a poor office atmosphere. Management often sat for 8 hours and didn't do much, furthermore, they'd go to the local garden centre with their favourite few employees for lunches and spend at least 2 hours there (lunch is maximum an hour). Hypocrisy in Management — 'Do as I say, not as I do' — Would tell employees to not cause 'office drama' but they would continue to do the opposite and cause drama themselves. I would often walk into the office without a single 'hello' — I understood that some employees were on calls, but not even management would often say 'Hi' (On some occasions, I would go 3 hours without management realising I was even there — often ending with 'When did you get here?!' — Often felt quite insulting that my presence wasn't really recognised). Part-timers such as myself were often frowned upon and often insulted (will argue management may be saying it jokingly, however it often become monotonous and quite degrading) Although there's some really lovely people working at Pavers, I can't get over the consistent sly comments, severely poor office atmosphere and arguments within the office.
