Pros

Other staff are friendly, supportive, and hardworking, and many create a positive team atmosphere despite management issues.

Cons

During my time at Miniso Norwich, I observed and personally experienced repeated unprofessional and bullying behaviour from my direct manager. This included public criticism in front of colleagues and customers, dismissive responses to legitimate requests for adjustments related to health conditions, and inappropriate discussion of private matters with other staff members. There was a consistent lack of support, a failure to follow basic professional procedures such as formal warnings or performance discussions, and an overall environment that felt intimidating and unsafeguarded for staff. I would caution prospective employees to consider that, based on my experience, staff wellbeing may not be adequately protected, and management practices at this location can be inconsistent and at times hostile.

Pros

It's fun to see what inventory we'll get, and it's fun product to sell. Coworkers are great to be around.

Cons

Upper management is horrible. 3 months into the store manager being fired, with no new SM in sight. When higher-ups come in to help, they are hard to communicate with, often giving off a harsh attitude. They will say everything that is wrong with the store with no positives. We were told to fill a particular IP because it was light when we had no inventory to fill it with, which they must have missed during their visit. The store was once sent so much shipment that we had to fill our bathroom with bags of inventory. The electricity went out once because the bill wasn't paid. Very little training is provided. Management would rather work a skeleton crew into the ground than care about employee turnover.
