Worst thing

Best thing
The best thing about the job is colleagues that you can relate to and are on your wavelength. You can reserve stuff and keep them behind the till to buy at the end of your shift (if your coworkers would actually leave them and not put them back out onto the floor). The allowance for uniform is good.
Worst thing
The managers. If you are young, you will be heavily mistreated, exploited, and overworked for your age and/or pay. Personally, whilst working at Next, some of the managers are the worst and rudest people I’ve had to deal with. Also, I wouldn’t recommend working here if you are neurodivergent and/or a student - they have little respect of your studies and what you can and can’t do.

Best thing
Easy if required overtimes, progression within business, benefits.
Worst thing
Policies - too many and very often coming to conflict with people's personal life. Bureaucracy- very often when required to solve issues ut has to be passed by multiple different people from different levels and departments. Company put strategies and rules for workers (performance policy, etc.) that does not reflect what is actually happening on the floors.
Next Employee, March 2024

Best thing
Its mostly fast paced, the shifts go by quickly. Very relaxed workplace in terms of the people you work with. The staffroom is stocked with snacks, food and drinks 90% of the time.
Worst thing
Can sometimes be high pressure. Some days are hit and miss and you never know what to expect.

Best thing
The perks
Worst thing
Little training or opportunity to progress. They use their most experienced people to do each task. Nepotism, favouritism and corruption is rife. Best chance of opportunity to learn and progress is to work morning shift, but they seem to give those shifts to friends and sometimes new people. I've been overlooked for so long now and I have stopped asking for opportunity.

Best thing
The bat thing is the uniform discount as it’s 75%, but it has to be new stock and approved by a manager (sometimes several managers)
Worst thing
The actual work is incredibly difficult and we’re not paid or credited nearly enough for it. Often times you’ll be promised rewards for your work but never are. Often not paid properly, incredibly difficult to take time off, and the rota often changes last minute, like mine is usually changed with less than a day’s notice and usually when I’m not in work. My manager also tends to spam me on Facebook messenger during holidays. Their general work systems especially for the online department are incredibly inefficient and unfair.

Some people that you meet there are good.
Worst thing
For most part it’s the worst place I have ever worked at. Managers there are completely out of line not only flirting with new girls that just started work but also extremely rude and two faced ( not all of them but there are defiantly quiet a few ). They never listen to what staff has to say,
