Pros

There isn't anything nice to say about this company.

Cons

If you are after a company that isn't driven Jo Mercer is the company to work for. This company doesn't seem to want to go anywhere and honestly I am done. They want everything for nothing. Won't pay you overtime yet the expect you to work on the weekend and accuse you of not doing your job if you don't. The CEO doesn't know how to manage the company and is very overbearing to the point of belittling those under management. "My husband owns the company so kiss my feet". Its interesting, when your team has amazing skills and assets they can offer the company and then get treated like dirt, they all leave.. Then they beg you back and it all repeats. Will never shop here let alone work here.

Pros

Good employee discount, occasional team meetings/updates on what's going on in store.

Cons

Very toxic work management at Jo Mercer especially if you're young/fresh grad. Other employees can be very petty even if you make a minor mistake; a lot of talking behind your back as well. No proper delegations of task especially if you're new or younger, they'll make you do all the cleaning and you would have no experience with customer service or anything else because either store is too quiet or the older employees will hand you all the cleaning tasks. Especially if you have no experience in retail they will expect you to pick things up immediately without any hands on experience given but will complain that you aren't doing enough. Will also only pick on certain employees not all/ some employees get better benefits/leave than others.
