Best thing
It’s honestly a fun place to work with the right people. It’s a great job for students who work 8 hour contracts. The pay isn’t terrible but if a big expense comes your way then you are likely not going to be able to afford it.
Worst thing
Management talks down to you and almost treats you like children. Regionals and higher ups don’t really understand how hard the job can be in a busy store with inconsiderate customers who purposefully make mess in front of workers. People mistreat and misuse fitting rooms such as ‘doing their business’ in them. Managers will often come over to help if a customer becomes aggressive but just to tell the customer you are in the wrong and then they get discounts on their shopping for inconveniencing us working there.

Best thing
Nothing
Worst thing
The management don’t respect you. Buyers are put on such a pedestal and don’t respect anyone lower than them. You’re expected to do heavy lifting, when you’re not trained/not in contract. Expected to train new starters, create new training material without any pay rise. Disability is not taken seriously

Best thing
That some customers and staff like to make your day better by just interacting with you and sometimes makes situations less stressful
Worst thing
Some staff thinks it's ok to not help you when u are behind on jobs and leaves you under pressure when u need help the most. Or they like to just stand around and chat when things have to get done which result in others doing it for them or finishing late which you don't get paid for the extra few minutes.
