NEXT reviews

- Some managers are rude to the sales consultants and staff who have worked there a long time bully new employees over uniform or nit pick at your performance constantly - If you get a low rating on your review you can't get overtime - It gets really quiet at around 5:30pm and if there are no bigs jobs to do it can be really boring with nothing to do - Training was very poor and given to me very late, I never got training on furniture orders even though I worked on home for nearly 7 months - When I first started I was given overtime without being asked or told, I regularly had 30 hour weeks on a 16 hour contract and couldn't give up unwanted shifts - Sales start ridiculously early - unnecessary and tiring - Quite a few products come in faulty and poor quality but are never sent back they're just put out until a customer buys it and returns it or complains

Management is absolutely awful. The managers will be super super patronising towards you Opens until 8pm, so boring when no customers shop at that time anyway (especially Saturday!!) They'll get rid of you as fast as you can if they're doing badly money wise. Crap overplayed music. sales opens super early on boxing day - what even is the point. If you're new, you're expected to know exactly what to do without guidance from management or teamleaders. They use you and abuse use. They lie about clothing allowance - states in the contract that you're entitled a clothing allowance - in my experience of working there I was promised a clothing allowance but "the system messed up" although, longer working employees did get their clothing allowance. Makes no sense. A week later they told me that they couldn't keep me on due to them thinking "there would be no customers" nonsense. Management will not do what it states you're entitled to on the contract you're given. You wont get entitled contracted hours, you will get significantly less or significantly more - resulting in uncontracted days in which you have to work - no excuses. - A fault on managements end. Next rarely pick up the office phone - meaning that if you're sick or unwell you'll be stuck on the phone trying to get through for up to an hour and before you know it, it's 10:01 and you're in trouble which can result in disciplinary.
