What DV8 Fashion employees say about their job
-
Best thing
Serving customers and working with a great bunch of colleagues. No two days are the same and it’s great.
Worst thing
When customers can be ignorant and pushy. Really underpaid for what the CEO can afford to pay. Doesn’t provide bonuses when staff go above and beyond for his company and changes his mind a lot about things within the company tasks. No sooner stock comes in until it’s transferred back out again which seems like we’re doing a warehouses job for them. We need consistency and more pay.
