Pros

Good colleagues and clothing allowance

Cons

I don't even know where to start but definitely one of the most frustrating things is that how frequently Visual Merchandisers change the layout of the store. Products are relocated almost daily, which not only disrupts the flow of work but also makes it incredibly difficult for Sales Advisors to assist customers effectively. It makes product knowledge and memorisation pointless as the information becomes outdated within 24 hours. And I'm not even sure they're know that these constant changes highlight a lack of confidence in their own merchandising strategy and ultimately create inefficiencies for both Sales Advisors and the VM team itself. On top of that, there are serious concerns around the quality of management. Many managers seem to have been promoted purely based on tenure rather than leadership capability. While they hold the title, they often lack the fundamental skills required to manage, support, and lead a team. There’s a noticeable gap between their responsibilities and how they actually operate and it’s unclear if they fully understand the accountability that comes with their role and pay grade.

Pros

Nice environment,during your shift every hour you will change your duty it makes it less boring.

Cons

The colleagues and the working environment were nice, management is young and often rude when they tell you to do things that are for ocd people cause even if a jumper is well folded they will make you fold again several times often use a parental way to explain and making you feel you are worthless with constant negative feedback especially at the beggining some people left on second day of work for the stress given that prjbabky not even I a temu factory you would get. however the company offered a “probation period” contract which they then chose not to renew,despite the big commitment, using January being a quiet month as an excuse. I was informed that I was being let go just two days before Christmas, despite having booked holidays months in advance that had already been approved. Had I known I was going to lose my job — and not because of poor performance — I would never have booked an overseas holiday. Unfortunately, organisation was not their strong point. The rota was prepared a month in advance but constantly changed, meaning that any personal plans or paid events were often disrupted. I also believe it is unfair to use a probation period instead of a temporary contract: they are two very different things. With a probation period, you believe that your hard work will lead to continuity, whereas with a temporary contract you already know you need to look for something else. Losing my job with only one week’s notice under these circumstances was a real shock.
