Terrible Senior Management - Corporate Head Office Employee APG & Co Employee Review

Great opportunity to grow professionally and an open environment for open discussions.

Lack of experience at management level has created confusion. There is lack of organization and direction, which makes for a difficult workplace.

Amazing team to work with and I enjoyed the new collections and quality of the clothes. Always accommodating with shift swapping if other commitments came up, very flexible in that sense.

Low wage, award rates. Terrible incentives for casual staff. Often staff competitions were for full-time staff only (managers) casuals were expected to participate for zero incentive. High sales does not equal cash to your bank account, only store credit to purchase more items. The catch was you cannot purchase using store credits at the staff discount rate, only full price. Average full price item was around $200-400, expect around $500 for a full outfit. The high price point meant it took longer to reach any significant amount using incentive credits. Also, items sold out very quickly. In fact the worst part of this job was the expectation to be dressed in "current" stock but the stock would quickly sell out or be placed into sale, they would then encourage staff to purchase more new season items. I spent almost as much as I earned, I got a great wardrobe but luckily this was my second job- not main source of income. I would not advise taking this job as a casual unless you love the brand and also have one or two other jobs.
