Pros

I was hired as a key holder, I only worked there 2 weeks as I was offered another position elsewhere. There didn’t seem to be many benefits to working there except some creative freedom to visual merchandise as they had no real guidance from head office. Good focus on denim training and the how different styles work for different body shapes.

Cons

Company overall seemed disorganised. My store was sharing a store manager with another store. The assistant manager seemed unmotivated and had low morale. Very minimal training given in the operations side of things. No health and safety training given. They don’t really seem to have a cohesive visual plan. There were lots of different brands that didn’t necessarily tell a story on the shopfloor and felt like a mish mash. Lots of pressure to convert customers but the clothing didn’t quite stand out.

Pros

Good sales experience for those who haven't been in retail before

Cons

Very heavily weighed on the 4 Steps of Selling they teach you and maintaining ridiculously high budgets for overpriced and often, cheap merchandise. Many customers had complained about the sales people being too pushy and pushing them to buy products they didn't want, but felt like they needed to because the employee would not stop pushing it. Employees also have to buy and wear current clothes, which are pretty expensive, even at 50% off. Part-time employees are required to shell out the same amount of money as FT employees, to pay for outfits every few weeks to keep up with current merchandise. And you have to wear what is being sol in store, not even the items that appear only online.
