Pros
• Team morale is amazing, working with girls who are supportive, collaborative and willing to help each other. Small team with amazing communication - sense of teamwork, reliability and trust in our specific store.
• Working independently, providing a space to express creativity via giving input on floor plans, VM, organisation, etc.. Also promotes problem solving skills, customer service, organisation, etc.
• Respect from management is great, truly feel appreciated and always receive compassion and empathy. They welcome feedback and will discuss any issues or queries professionally, appropriately and fairly.
• Overall company vibes are brilliant, always great banter amongst staff and management, discussing excitement about launches, plans for stores, etc.
• Generosity from management, receiving gift sets for Christmas while also running incentives to win full collections of clothes (which also provided great motivation when Christmas in retail becomes overwhelming, also added a fun rivalry between store locations, light hearted competition)
• Staff discount and provided uniform pieces
Cons
• Very little negatives…
• Located within dunnes stores, stockrooms are frustrating but management has assisted in ensuring accessibility.
• Working independently can be difficult when there is a lot of tasks, deliveries and rearranging floors on the same day, etc.
• Short breaks
