Debenhams Employee Reviews about "credit cards"

Pros

Good staff discount The people you work with

Cons

Constant pressure to open up store branded credit cards Management never listen or ask the opinion of floor staff before making radical changes

Pros

Discount cards available to staff. Food sampling each seasonal menu change.

Cons

Unorganised, rampant bullying, lazy management, nobody knows what they're doing. Store managers are late at paying or more than often get people's payslips wrong on purpose to make up for their overspending. They dock half an hours pay if you're late by a second and can also refuse to pay if you forget to sign in or sign out. No staff benefits unless you take a certain bus firm or live in central London or something. No free or discounted meals unless you use their store cards which are either credit cards or a card you have to top up yourself...

Pros

Good breaks Fantastic Team Easy job Good staff discount

Cons

Cliquey management Too much focus on selling Credit Cards with too little focus on customers Zero job progression Very poor training - left to own devices and very little support from management.

Pros

None at all staff discount is ok but nothing great positive friendly staff that’s it

Cons

No wonder debehamms are closing managment treat staff no respect bullies it’s all about money and selling the store credit cards

Pros

Discount is good, however goes down at 18 where as pay only goes up at 21.

Cons

PRESSURE on selling Debenhams Master cards. Say they are customer focused but criticise employees who do not open a certain amount of credit cards - even if under 18. Very serious atmosphere, one minor thing goes wrong and it is the end of the world. Lack of team morale.

Pros

The only good thing about working at debenhams was the people I worked with I.e. on the floor

Cons

The cons are too numerous to list. Supervisors and managers don't care about you shift availability and change Rotas without consultation. The pay is poor for the pressure to get accounts (sell credit cards) and the standards they expect. Paper rotas are still used and as such I was underpayed on several ocasions and by several hundred pounds and this took months to get back.

Pros

Salary was good and shift patterns were good.

Cons

Management was too focused on Debenhams credit cards

Pros

interview process okay job relatively simple

Cons

horrible management pressuring you to sell credit cards to vulnerable people lack of racial diversity in management

Pros

Good staff discount. Nice work environment.

Cons

Bad management. Constant pressure to sell credit cards and emails.

Pros

Staff discount Shift patterns (weekdays only) Staff friendships Creative freedom

Cons

Pressure to open store credit cards and unfair penalties if targets were not met No investment in equipment for displays and outdated technology
