Hard business culture

Pros

It is a good company to work for if you are looking to start a retail career. They are very results/performance driven, so you learn how to be direct, efficient and make tough decisions under pressure. There is also opportunity for advancement as the company expands here in Australia.

Cons

It is a very hard business culture. There is a strict hierarchy and communication chain, and a lot of cultural overhead. There is little opportunity to develop friendships with colleagues, and if fact, socializing is actively discouraged. The management style is very rigid and uncompromising; often to the detriment of staff.

Pros

Can help develop skills based around working to a time-frame. There is really no other positives to being a store assistant.

Cons

-No breaks given if shift is busy. -Management get finacial kickback for rostering on less staff. -Staff are not rotated from duty to duty (ie, tills to filling stock) and you can end up doing 6-7 hours straight on the tills. -Shifts start at 6am or 3pm. You will finish at 9pm and be due back at 6am for work the next day. -Unreasonable timeframes to move stock or do other tasks, if you dont meet timeframes you are bullied, yelled at and threatened with your job. -You will have no life due to the way hours are structured. -You will never have two consecutive days off in a row. -You will work at least 1 if not both days on the weekend. -Majority of the deputy managers are young and have no management or life experience. Expect young managers to make up the rules as they go.
