Schuh Limited Reviews

Pros

Great working environment. Very Flexible with the working hours, you can work to suit your schedule with a few compromises of course. Good working practices/processes compared to other retail stores so tasks are more efficient.

Cons

There is a slight pressure to meet your sales target and sell the miscellaneous items such the shoe protector spray. However there is no way of rewarding those who continuously excel in sales. (No commission)

Pros

If you’re lucky you get a good manager! Flexible work schedule Meet lots of Interesting people No need to go to the gym your legs will be rock solid from climbing up and down 4 flights of stairs every 3 mins

Cons

Rudestaff members Focus on targets that seem unrealistic Higher Management don’t even look at saws advisors or say thank you! People are Rude sometimes but that’s retail! You either work too many shifts or not enough! You probably won’t move up in this career

Advice to Management

Be more human! at the end of the day we are here to sell shoes and make money for you! don’t take all the glory, you would be nothing without your staff so treat them with respect :-)

Pros

Well organised, good processes, attractive breaks and holidays.

Cons

Awful pay, no comission, new tasks added to your workload daily, no compassion from other management(store specific).

Pros

40% discount for yourself on shoes 25% for family! great training and option to pick up overtime

Cons

sometimes very busy days serving multiple customers at peak times

Pros

Great staff Great atmosphere Good working conditions Expectations are fair on the management team Communication is okay - could be slightly improved between HO & stores Opportunity to be involved in different aspects such as store relaunches etc.

Cons

Managers do not receive the appropriate training. The training provided is commercially based as opposed to 'people management'. More could be done on ensuring the management teams understand HR and can apply this more effectively. From experience, some of the managers I worked with, took decisions into their own hands such as holding regular meetings with staff on subjects that did not require a formal approach and... could have been dealt with by conversation/training. Managers were often in the office rather than the shop floor. Staff feedback was incredibly and often not listened to.

Advice to Management

Work on management training in relation to people management and HR issues.

Pros

A lovely team to work with. Everyone gets paid the same rate of pay as a sales advisor regardless of age. Working hours are flexible, it is an ideal part-time job for students. Excellent staff discount.

Cons

If you are on a 3 hour contract, you don't usually get any more hours than that for the week until trade picks up during holidays and busy periods. It is highly unlikely you will get a bigger contract than that.

Pros

No uniform and fun environment

Cons

Not really any I can think of

Pros

Discount is good, flexible too

Cons

Not a lot of hours
