*department managers stretched too thin to manage the shop floor properly
*no 'supervisors', therefore no room for promotion between sales associate/brand specialists and assistant managers.
*loss prevention very stressful and difficult to manage--invest in security team and stop blaming overwhelmed staff in understaffed rooms!
*commission could be higher--but hey, that's London for you! 1% of your sales not worth it...
*sale customers (no we are not getting it back in stock, it's in clearance and the end of season!)
*little opportunity to move from shop floor into other departments like web, buying, wholesale, etc.
