River Island Clothing Employee Reviews about "uniform allowance"

Pros

- Uniform allowance - 40% off clothes

Cons

- Awful management. Shout at you for asking questions during training. - Not trained properly - Toxic environment, no sense of community - Put you in for days you requested off - Give roster just a day in advance

Pros

Good discount Can be a fun workplace , make great friends.

Cons

Staff are really overworked for the wage they receive. High targets. Don’t be fooled by the “uniform allowance” they expect you to wear head to toe river island brand, even though you only get your allowance every 3 months, you might only get 2 cheap tops and a pair of jeans if you’re lucky, maybe more depending on your hours and contract. Managers can be sometimes (not always)cliquey/favoritism can occur too, sometimes expect too much of their staff, not enough help when trying to complete difficult tasks.

Pros

Flexible hours good staff discount you get a uniform allowance depending on what contract you're on everyone is generally nice to work with and around the same age group

Cons

Terrible pay rude managers usually stand around talking to each other and don't let you say a work to anyone you're working with

Pros

Staff discount & uniform allowance

Cons

Terrible management Very "clique-y" environment Payment system is ridiculously out of date and inaccurate Head office are difficult to deal with Employees made to feel like they are just a number rather than a person

Pros

Good discount - Management 50% - Staff 40% 3 times a year uniform allowance

Cons

Long hours, unable to claim back if management Unrealistic timeframes Too many channels of information to keep tabs or action every day HEAVY amounts of pressure River was once known for looking after staff welfare when it's such a shame, that in fact, the stress and negativity within area management, work load, unrealistic expectations etc is not worth the job itself
