Arcadia Reviews

Pros

relaxed atmosphere, opportunity to work in different areas of the business

Cons

companesation on the low side

Pros

Excellent training and development. Clear and concise job expectations.
A very well run company. Brill to work for!!! A range of brands to cover all fashion markets.

Cons

Hard to find negatives for Arcadia except that benefits are not wat they were pre recession. lower start of pay etc etc but I guess it's to be expected. Sir Phillip has to keep an eye on his profit.

Advice to Senior Management

Perhaps look for more feedback on operations, area managers, regional controllers, stock package etc from top store managers and deputies.

Pros

Well known company that has many opportunities across the 7 brands. Big learning curve and many opportunities across different sized stores.

Cons

Relatively low pay, as per any retail career weekends are a norm. Payroll is run really tight so resources to deliver high service and relaxed/fair management scheduling do not happen.

Advice to Senior Management

Simplify simplify simplify store goals and targets - too many. You will be able to deliver higher customer service and visual standards with more payroll.
