Pros

There are no pros to working at Next.

Cons

Management is a complete joke, They do not care about their staff and only care about impossible targets. They will treat you like dirt and point the finger of blame to you for their own negligence.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your experience as a Shift Supervisor at NEXT in Cork. We value all reviews, as they help us understand what we’re doing well and where we can improve. We’re glad to hear you’ve recognised the accessibility of our roles for individuals starting out in their careers. Providing opportunities for those with less experience is something we pride ourselves on. However, we notice that you chose not to comment on areas of improvement. If you do have specific concerns or suggestions, we’d really appreciate hearing them. Your insights are vital to helping us create a better working environment for everyone. We encourage you to share additional feedback directly with us, whether through your manager or by reaching out to HR. Thank you again for your time and efforts as part of our team.
