Pros

- The store looks nice - The discount is generous

Cons

- Bullying is part of the culture and encouraged at HO. Young and inexperienced airhead managers, that have stepped into their roles by sheer luck, are running and ruining the place. Covering up their lack of knowledge and incompetence with attitude or outbursts - Poor management who don't care about or respect their employees, only care about their own personal gain - There’s no investment into team members. You’re made to feel like just another number, and easily disposable - The rules between staff and employees are quite blurred. Employees are scolded for things management do time and time again - Lack of any form of clear communication - No career opportunities or career progression, they'll keep you as a casual forever

Pros

Other casuals super friendly, Discount is pretty good, you get free uniform when you start

Cons

Not enough people to work on busier days and customers will feel that way too, the management at Assembly is horrendous - no direction and when it is given it makes absolutely no sense, expectations will differ from management which can make things difficult for staff to prioritise things, lots of gossip between managers - there is clearly a negative us and them (the casuals) mindset, they do not teach you anything properly but will get super mad if you do something wrong even when this is your first time exposed to the situation, manager is extremely lazy and does not take her job seriously at all. Manager at outlet store does not know how to give or receive feedback - when you pull her up on taking shopping trips during a busy shift she will yell at you. There is a reason why this place is always looking for new hires, be warned.
