Pros

40% off black clothing for uniform

Cons

Where do I even begin? We were expected to have the floor immaculate during the day and at the end of the day especially. But this only applied to staff working Monday to Friday, weekend staff were allowed to do as they pleased E.g. stand around chatting in groups, not being pressured into the same standards as weekday staff. Countless Mondays I came into work and it’s looked like no one even worked in my section over the weekend and we were expected to clean up after them on top of our other duties every single time with no good excuse except for “they were busy” which doesn’t cut it as there is plenty of staff at the weekends they just can’t manage them correctly. I’ve witnessed other staff members being pulled left right and centre from their section to cover multiple other sections for months on end instead of adding one or two more staff to the rota to cover. Supervisors have shouted at staff and made them cry in front of customers. Some supervisors have got a serious issue with doing any work themselves and prefer to delegate and demand very simple tasks that they could easily perform themselves. Pay is minimum wage €11.30 ph or sometimes €11.298 if payroll decides to be cheeky. The wage is not fair for the amount of work you are expected to do. Myself and others were unfairly deducted over €60 “holiday overpayment” once we terminated employment with Frasers. I contacted management immediately but have been ignored for 3 weeks. I went in to visit my friends who still work there and some supervisors did not even acknowledge my existence with a simple smile or a hello. Disgusting and rude behaviour from grown women who are supposed to act as professionals.

Pros

Good staff discount, supportive peers

Cons

Zero hour contract meant that there was never consistent hours, I would go from 40 hours one week to only one 5 hour shift the next. Hours were allocated according to who was the manager's favourites, who openly admitted to doing this. Favouritism was a huge issue, there being a double standard within the store where some people would be told off for things that others weren't. Bullying and intimidating behaviour by managers. Extremely difficult to get any time off even if advance notice was given. Found it very difficult to work around my university timetable despite being on zero hours. I found that I was consistently overworked and given more hours than I could commit to and was not listened to by managers when I asked to work less. There was many members of staff consistently left with no hours simply because management didn't like them. Desipte staff being left with no work, we were always short staffed anyway and expected to manage even on busy days with very few bodies meaning you usually wouldn't be able to get a break until very late in your shift. Managers were very gossipy and would speak about you to other members of staff and share private information. Very little recognition even when you go above and beyond, but when something went wrong they were always looking to blame people. Managers were very little help during busy periods, would stay either in office or in the back.
