Not bad - management needs work

Retail sales associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good discount - 50%. Staff tend to be nice as they are young. Get free uniform. Not prejudice against tattoos/coloured hair etc

Cons

Management a bit of a shambles, lots of disagreeing between deputy/manager etc. Too much pressure on knowing KPI's not just for your store but also nearby, too many facts and figures to remember.

Pros

Fun co-workers. But they are a very structured retail company. This is not a job to come to, to just hangout. They set sales goals and monitor your productivity but it is a very rewarding management structure.

Cons

none. as far a retail goes its a pretty good place to work.

Pros

50% off full price shoes 30% off sale shoes Dress and look however you want Decent working environment

Cons

I worked at an outlet store, which means there was constant destruction being done by the customers. It took hours to close the store every night because of the chaos. Management is not professional On Call shifts are horrible because you never know whether or not you need to come into that shift, you have to call an hour before the shift starts and ask.
