Pros

No good reasons come to mind

Cons

No support Didn’t hear from the Regional Manager for 8 weeks when first started Would go for up to 4 weeks before hearing from them Very Entitled customers Rude Do not recommend working for this company ever If you do interview for this job ask how many managers they have had in the 10 years they’ve been open you will be surprised Says a lot about how unsupported all their previous manager have been Says a lot about the treatment of staff

Pros

Some very lovely customers and met lots of nice people - from other brands within MYER.

Cons

The area manager was a toxic, narcissistic bully. When I reported this to HR, I was sent to EAP (therapy) to rethink how I could approach situations with her... When I asked to take annual leave (5 months in a row) it was never a good time, and I was constantly told no - but others were allowed to go. Favouritism is rampant and filters down all the way from head office. It was very clear that nothing I ever did was ever going to be good enough - that included when I got the store to top performing store in the company for the first quarter, and then have it one the last stores in the whole company to still be consistently meeting and exceeding budget... So do not ever go above and beyond, because they won't appreciate it and to them you're just a number.
