Pros

-Uniform allowance but really who likes wearing the clothes. They are poorly made and designed and fall a part easy. -Stores are designed nicely so your always working in a good environment

Cons

I have worked both in-store and support office, both are basic jobs to be working in and offer little room for progression, development or any further training. It is not a terrible job but it is just so behind the times of other retailers that everything is manual and tedious. -Customers are the most abusive that I have ever had in any retail store, you will hear about 50 times in a day how 'RM Williams would turn in his grave if he saw what RM had become today' or that the French from Louis Vuitton had taken over RM, customers can react with some pretty awful things. -Products are always out of stock, especially popular boot sizes and take weeks to get new stock in losing sales and customers. -The support office is very small and there is little room for promotion once you get into the office.

Pros

The idea of free clothes are nice

Cons

the company could afford to set up a beautiful, custom interior designed shop, they could afford to budget mixers to gain new customers but they couldn’t pay their employees livable wages or offer full time.
