Pros
Staff Discount. Some support staff a pleasure to work with. Product quality. Wage was decent.
Cons
I worked for BOSS for just over a year. In my interview they admitted my role had seen some serious turnover, and this should have been a huge red flag for me, but I was blinded by the brands prestige. In the six months leading up to my resignation, I experienced what I can only describe as consistent subtle bullying and neglect. There is a huge imbalance with positive and negative feedback, with negative feedback being the regular meal of the week. Not once in my time within the company did I feel celebrated, welcome, supported or important. Upper management displayed a serious lack of empathy, choosing profits over the mental and physical health of the team, unless forced. On multiple occasions I was made to feel uncomfortable for speaking up or even just opening my mouth at all. Everything that went wrong was all my fault, and any reasonable explanation was shot down as excuses or "lack of accountability" or "lack of planning", followed up with zero support or training. Picture trying to swim to the surface of a lake, but someone keeps pushing your head back underwater as you breach the surface only giving you a few seconds to catch your breathe. Zero training after the initial onboarding is complete, so career progression is nonexistent. The support my replacement received upon my departure was clearly a far cry from the support I was receiving in my hour of need, leading me to believe there might be a culture of discrimination against my homosexual status. I suffered multiple panic attacks, crying fits, and was pushed to the edge of a full-blown nervous breakdown. I would not recommend anyone working for BOSS.
