    I loved my time at Whistles

    Feb 2, 2020 - Operations Manager in New York, NY

    Pros

    I loved my time at Whistles. The VP in the US is just amazing, she spends time nurturing the growth of her employees. since it was a small operation i felt like there was so much growth opportunity and the learning curve was major.

    Cons

    The operation was small, and the UK team ties the hands of the US team making it hard to operate seamlessly in a market that is very different from the UK. with that being said the VP of the company in the US is incredible and she goes above and beyond for her team and the companies growth. Honestly working with Danielle changed my life for the better.

    Poor management

    Jul 13, 2019 - Part Time Sales Associate in Orlando, FL
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Discounts are good. That’s about it

    Cons

    Your pay is low compared to most leases in Bloomingdale’s. The management takes advantage of the company and is barely at work. Will continue to harass you on your days off regarding work and sometimes unrelated to work. Be careful with what you say, everyone in that work place has ears and will speak. If you don’t want to waste your time I suggest looking elsewhere. Your review will be after 90 days. Raises are done once a year in October and management will threaten to cut your hours and withhold raises.
