Apr 7, 2018 - Sales Advisor in Birmingham, EnglandRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Staff Discount Always kept busy Able to work in different areas of the business Can pick up extra hours if wanted Great Learning Portal
Cons
I have none as worked hard and knew Retail is a tough environment, so for all those who have moaned about Next , I don't share your experiences because if you want an easy job- Next is not for you! Not every job is perfect but I loved working at Next. Sometimes the rota does not go to plan or you may be put on on for shifts you cannot do but all you can do is explain why and try to work with Management and offer them something you can do. Its retail so long hours at times (Sales) and seasonal times are expected! If you cant work these times then don't go into Retail. Don't moan about it.
