Despite having worked for 10+ years in the fast paced and highly stressful Australian fashion industry, I have never seen such a strained and exhausted workplace. To say this is simply a "fast paced" environment where by you must "keep pace or deal with changing priorities" shows upper managements blatant disregard for the welfare of it's employees. This speaks volumes of Showpo's inability to address serious issues with it's management and structure. Put simply, if you'd like to work the job of multiple people, this the place for you! I observed an incredibly high level of staff turn over. Each week more and more would leave, with management very slow to replace. Personally, it felt as though their strategy was to simply get as much as they could out of each staff member knowing we would inevitably move on. My discussions with HR fell on deaf ears. Not a single action was taken to address any concerns I raised prior to my resignation. I know this was also the case for many of my colleagues as well. Based on my previous experience in the industry, my financial compensation was below the industry standard. Again, management made this a very difficult issue for me to address with them in the lead up to my resignation.
