Burberry reviews

Zero work/life balance. You have to be *all* about retail, sales goals, and loving co-workers that are extremely petty and will steal your sales/clients at the drop of a hat. If you are single, happy making a paltry amount of commission on top of a low salary, and want to spend whatever free time you have out drinking and living a lifestyle you cannot afford with your fellow co-workers, God bless you. As the rest of the world cannot sustain that lifestyle, this job will burn you out. Aside from the manager and department managers vying to get the bump to assistant store manager, no one really said positive things about the store or company. Lunch was people complaining about work or talking about other opportunities. The only people with a quasi normal schedule are the department managers if they choose to give themselves days off they want. Since they want to keep their jobs, they drink the Burberry Kool-Aid every week. Very caustic environment, look for other high end fashion companies if you want to work in this part of retail.

Revolving door! Some of that was due to the nature of retail, but much (especially that of mgt and back office) must be attributed to the poor treatment of people by HR and their "clicky" dynamic. It usurped much of what was good about the brand. Little focus was placed on non-revenue producing departments, keeping them so lean members had to work unreasonable hours just to get the job done. Flaccid department heads were too afraid to speak up for their employees.
