All is not as wonderful as it appears

Pros

Decent discount. Prestige of working for a designer brand.

Cons

Poor basic pay. Long working hours, many times unpaid and expected to 'get on with it', often as a result of understaffing. Bullying and threats both from Managers and Area Managers. Staff employed who are inappropriate to the position as a result of rushed employment process. Unachievable targets appear to be set to penalise staff. Exceptionally low staff morale. High staff turnover. Company is full of 'Yes Men'. This succeeds in covering up their own inefficiency and bullying tactics.

Full of empty promises

Pros

Good salary (prior 2012) Commission. Generous discount. Sometimes you can work in other stores helping on in store set ups and get taken out for meals in some nice restaurants. Higher management at directors level are really nice but you only see them few and far between unfortunately. Amazing customers.

Cons

LONG HOURS No progression Full of empty promises from area and in store management. Sometimes you will work 18 hours shifts and have to go back into work the following day. A lot of back stabbing, and arguing over people sales capabilities. Stealing other peoples sales. Old fashioned inter store transfer and inadequate communication between stores, which leads to a lot of customer complaints, which leads to a lot of messed up wedding parties and you getting screamed at potentially.
