Summer host

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They prioritise their employees having a bubbly personality with a willingness to learn over prior knowledge of their products.

Cons

You don’t need to put too much emphasis on your hard skills but elaborate on the soft skills (communication and building rapport) developed from your prior experience and how you would apply this to your role at MECCA.

Business Outlook

Pros

40% off discount and education

Cons

Everything. Don’t care about staff. All they care about is money. Would have one person close the Myer Sydney store on both sides because they weren’t making enough money.

Pros

• Good benefits (e.g. discount) • Female built company • The friends you make stay with you for a very long time

Cons

• Some senior managers can be micromanaging and play favourites • Not every employee is going to like you • Wildly understaffed, leaving people feeling unsupported and stretched
