Urban Outfitters Employee Reviews about "minimum wage"

Pros

My store has a great and friendly team. Flexible hours if you're a student/working part-time. The employee discount is generous - 40% off all clothes and own brand shoes / 25% off sale and designer shoes.

Cons

The only negatives are the long hours - but that is normal for retail. Also the pay is only minimum wage for regular sales associates.

Pros

youthful team, always changing, fresh stock and ideas

Cons

Minimum wage, not much variety in the work.

Pros

Only the discounts ( but do they really matter when your income is less the minum wage?) Staff is friendly!

Cons

1) Unprofessional Admin 2) Unprofessional Training and Induction 3) Pay is less than minimum wage in UK 4) No benefits 5) No direct contact with manager

Pros

Great team to work with (lots of likeminded people around the same age), the discount is good (40%) and there's no uniform

Cons

The management is different now and supposedly better but used to be absolutely dreadful--lazy, cliquey and with complete double standards. There was a very clear divide between them and the sales assistants. Typical retail duties can get boring. Minimum wage

Pros

Good discount. Good music, when our manager wasn't just playing whatever she wanted from her own music.

Cons

Insufficient payroll, no training structure, disorganised and unpredictable demands from head office, no progression or opportunities to advance. Minimum wage staff expected to do work of managers and visual teams that were made redundant last year. Make one mistake and you'll need to watch your back. Stick up for a wronged employee and you can lose your job. Hair, makeup, style need to fit the company culture, so don't be an individual.

Pros

Lots of hours if you need the money 40% discount Nice co-workers Decent clothes, and the opportunity to snap things up first in the sale

Cons

Minimum wage 0 hour contract- yet you aren't allowed to turn down the shifts given to you Bad hours, you could finish at 10pm and start at 7am the next day Impossible amount of work to get done in the time given Not great management, they 'forgot' to train me when I started and only realised 2 months in when I'd figured everything out for myself. Although I think it's not their fault, as they are very stressed with a heavy workload as well No drinks allowed on the shop floor, yet never any time to go down to the lockers to have one Ends up taking over your life
