Pros
- The people I worked with were lovely and two years down the line after leaving, I'm still in contact with a few of them. - I was in the fitting rooms and the job was very easy to pick up - Hours fitted in perfectly with my studies
Cons
*sigh* where do I start?? - The management; there was a number of managers in my store and I found the majority of them to be unprofessional, rude and often suffered from power trips. None of them bothered to learn my name but were quick to jump down my throat if I had done something wrong. - Although my job in fitting rooms was easy to pick up, I also found it very repetitive. I would've preferred to have done different roles around the store so I could've had better experience for future jobs because I sure as hell wanted to get out of there asap. - We, in the fitting rooms, were often held responsible if stock was stolen from the store, despite there being a full security team in place. - HR were absolutely hopeless. The amount of times I requested holidays and had no response was shocking and made it difficult for me to plan anything, when I called in sick, the HR manager was unavailable so I had to trust a random sales associate that I didn't know to pass on the message to my department and we were very often underpaid and not paid on time. The was also a lot of part-time staff that was made to work full time hours. - Due to the hectic manner of the store, I often had to face the wrath of rude and dissatisfied customers.
