Card Factory Careers and Employment

I was Assistant Manager here for 4 years. While I was there we had a Manager. I went on maternity leave and when i returned to work he had left. So we had no manger. So when I came back it was just me as part of managment. You get no help from your area manager at all! HR department are a joke they make up the rules as they go along! If you hve a good team thatll do the work youve got no worry. But when you are understaffed nobody wants to help you out ever! People on higher paid grades are bully's. HR take no notice of it at all its just simply your word against theres. The pay is disgusting for the amount of hours and work you do you are never appreciated nor thanked. Area managers have there favourites and thats it everyone else are just spoken to like rubbish. Its not worth the hassle working for a company that dont care about you as a human being espcially when they have no respect for anyone let alone themselves.

This company asks an awful lot for VERY little in return. They say it’s like one big family but that’s rubbish, they can make mistake after mistake and just post an apology on the message page, but god forbid you make a mistake as they’ll come down on you like a ton of bricks. A very double standard company that pretends they care for you, but actually don’t give two hoots! Also they offered ZERO support when we came back from furlough, you had to put up with a lot of rude customers who could be quite horrible, but they didn’t care about how you were feeling and your mental health, they just want the money in the till!!! You have to just put up and shut up or leave basically!

15% which is ok. REALLY need to hurry up and get some sort of stuff discount card sorted though, as they don’t do payslips anymore so how are you meant to show proof of employment in another shop? Yet ANOTHER thing that Card Factory are VERY behind with!!!

Six hours.

Yes there is.

They are random hours and not handy for people with children or strict college times.

I get £4.20

You get payed monthly as a christmas temp

You get paid three days before Christmas.

I had an interview at the card factory very informal queastions they asked what whats my greatest achievement? And what would i do if i didnt get on with somebody at work. Manager swearing through out process very unproffesional. When asked if there was any progression, got told im the manager of this store what do you mean. So never stood a chance.

Roughly three weeks.

Turn up on time be smartly dressed know something bout the company and how you would be prepared to work within that store to the best of your ability.
