Oak Furniture Land Careers and Employment

The job as busy and honestly wasn't the staff to keep up. Often felt very snowed under and truly unhappy.My direct manager was fantastic but sadly the overall management was poor. No care for the wellbeing of the staff, especially when the team moved remotely to work. A lot of unnecessary pressure was put on you and caused a very stressful atmosphere to work in. There were some perks with the job, the salary was good and you got discounts in loads of different stores, however, the negative outweighed the positives.

Hectic

Hectic crazy job, which has you working way over your weekly average hours, and overtime isn’t paid for, you have to work bank holidays even if it’s 4 days you work extra hours without pay. No management support, and constantly nit pick at you for anything you do

The best place to work in my opinion

I was the Christmas temp. They guys treated me very well and were very chilled and down to earth. I’m worked there for about 4 years (during Christmas period) and I’ve met some amazing people. Would definitely recommend working there for the sessional temp position.

Sales Advisor in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire

Poor work culture & practices

Since the buyout in June it was supposed to be more relaxed and no targets. Heavily pushed “non-existent” targets and encouraging selling of finance and insurance products. Management under heavy pressure from above and “unspoken” encouragement to push said products. Ambiguity in fully explaining them to customer’s not telling them everything just snippets. Unwilling to back staff when things caught up with the store and appeared to be slow to discourage unruly staff. Could be so much better very sad really.

Relaxed interview which was friendly focussing on background, previous experience and outlining the direction for the future with promises that were unrealistic on reflection.
