Nine months in and quitting next week! This job has taken my whole identity, and I genuinely don’t enjoy the work. Just curious to hear about those that left early on and where they are right now.

    stressful time in next

    Jul 29, 2015 - Anonymous Employee 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Colleagues helpful and friendly Discount and uniform allowance Meeting new people everyday

    Cons

    Management don't care about you personally as long as you turn up to work ( my manager basically said whether you have family problems or religious reasons, you still have to come work) It was okay for management to talk with one another but not sale assistants. Too much work load. low wages. Not training expected to know everything.

    Awful Organisation

    Feb 14, 2023 - Sales Consultant 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Colleagues were great and were the only reason why I made it through the year or so spent there.

    Cons

    Awful organisation by management which led to last minute shifts. Poor communication in which one manager told me my part-time contract had been converted to full-time however I was made redundant out of nowhere during Covid-19. Was only one as far as I was concerned.

    Horrible management

    Oct 6, 2022 - Retail Assistant/Delivery Assistant in London, England
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The tasks were relatively easy and the colleagues I worked with tended to be nice and respectful.

    Cons

    The managers would never help when you asked them to fix your payslip, contract, etc. Some people wouldn't get their pay for days if not weeks because there were always "issues" the managers would never care to resolve. Working mums working two jobs would have to wait for their pay because of laziness. The managers would get mad if you clocked out after your shift because they wanted to control you.
