Pros

If you get a good store team to work with it’s good fun, good fun getting to dress up in the clothing

Cons

Don’t expect much support from head office. They definitely care more about numbers than they do their staff. If you’re hired as casual you will be treated as so, the only way to gain full time hours is to be made part of the management team which I advise against, they expect managers to work at least 5 hours over time without pay. Team meetings for full timers are not paid either and are expected to be held outside of work hours. Extremely high expectations from head office of getting tasks done during store hours like unpacking of stock, organising recalls & onlines. The latest development with online orders is if you have any late orders and they have to be refunded because your store doesn’t have the stock or you can’t find the item, they threaten you with a “write up” - warning.

Pros

- discount on clothes - occasional good KPI goals - Chill a lot of the time

Cons

- only allowed to wear dangerfield clothes at work. there needs to be at least one other item of the clothing you are wearing in the store, or you are not allowed to wear it anymore (so that if someone says "hey cute top" you can lead them to it and try and make a sale). This means that staff are often having to spend their own money on current clothing - waaay too much stock. have fun pulling any item off the rails (spoiler, you can't! how fun) - the goal is to make money out of people at all times no matter what. felt kinda predatory. if you have ever had a lovely interaction with a staff member, i guarantee you that 90% of it was faked because we are trained to hype you up so that you tap your card - quality went way down. yes, some of the prints are australian artist's prints, but almost everything is of poor quality and is made in china or thailand. most of the accessories can be found on drop shipping websites such as temu or aliexpress. products are not ethically sourced at all.
