Pros

SOME staff are really committed and very good group- SMCP. Good company ethic with Maje and Claude Pierlot. Decent customer service training booklet. Crazy bonus but only if you have worked there for 2-4 years (if you can last that long!!)

Cons

The worst organised company that I have ever worked for or probably on this planet Health and Safety is not a priority. They only care about figures and not if the store is organised or ran correctly. There isn't enough staff amongst the whole of Sandro - (clearly enough reasons why) Rubbish Salaries. Probation! Take every day as it comes because you are not safe! You are replaceable even though their staff turnover is a joke ,some people only last a day. No professionalism over recruiting other members of staff-"Take anyone" they said! Uniform very specific and not a reward - only allowed this if you make the cut! (probation) Overtime-expected to do hours beyond the norm and not be thanked for it. DON'T EXPECT A DAY OFF! No HR backup! Very little training then expected to know the brand and stock inside out! Only recommended for an unorganised manager who can deal with one hell of a messy store/company. If you can force people to buy things that is all you need to know! DONT RISK IT! KEEP LOOKING FOR JOBS! As soon as you see under the surface you will see the cracks quickly appearing.RUN!

The horror stories are true - avoid at all costs.

Pros

Cannot think of any pros vs previous jobs and competitors. If you've just entered into employment with Sandro as a manger get the hell out.

Cons

Nightmare. Illegal HR procedures for micro-management tactics to dismiss people on ridiculous and unfeasible grounds. You have no security and are completely disposable, yes even as a manager. You will be expected to showcase your 'skills' as a manager by asserting your authority and dismissing people. Even if you demonstrate turnover results it will be used against you; If you don't fit the image and company culture (which is bizarre) then be prepared not to stay and take each day as it comes. The worse working experience of my life. avoid at all costs - everything you read on here is true. I cannot explain how disappointed I am to have had this working experience.

Pros

Please don't get me wrong their are a lot of really good thing about Sandro Beautiful product/50/discount/some great and passionate sale staff a/staff uniform /good company values which really impressed me when started.

Cons

Poorly managed by senior UK management which is a shame such a beautiful product / a lot of managers/assistants within a year left or let go at the end of their probation period with very little excuse or warning no support stores run on a minimum of staff
