Wasn't bad working there only issue is having to get searched whenever you leave the store as if they are accusing all staff of stealing. When you're new they make you do most if the work.

Worst place ever

Retail Assistant (Former Employee) - Hillsborough - 15 April 2022

Worst place to ever work for!!!Great place IF you have absolutely zero social life and don’t mind working over time all the time!On your days off they want you to come in and work and you get no respect for going in and helping out they just treat you like dirt on the back of their shoes Mangers are the worst! Mean nasty and don’t communicate with you or customers.I WOULD AVOID AT ALL COSTS ITS THE WORST PLACE TO EVER WORK

Pros

None

Cons

Over time on days off. Mangers disrespectful

Productive and fun workplace

Retail Assistant (Former Employee) - Kingston upon Hull - 15 March 2022

It felt like my 2nd home, and my family. What an amazing bunch of people to be around. So supportive, so lovely and welcoming. Not only were they supportive professionally, but also personally too. If you had anything going on you can be sure that they will be there for you, a shoulder to cry on. Best people to ever meet.

The company doesn't take that much care over their staff.... the training online is rediculas time consuming and alot is irrelevant.The company only really cares about add on sales pushed onto customers its stressful and most of the customers do not like this after sales pushing.. i will be glad to leave... and and also management is poor and the staff turnover is ridiculas ... people really do not stay very long...

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Pressure

Overworked and underpaid

Retail Assistant (Former Employee) - Montrose, Angus - 21 January 2022

You are severely underpaid for the job you are doing. Managers walk all over you and even bully people who don't trip over themselves to please them. Managers also have their favourites and you might just be lucky to be one if you can sell whats on offer... which is impossible. Made to mop the floors every night with stringy mops and washing up liquid, and if you don't do it right then you are made to feel useless and belittled. Expected to sell whats on offer and if you don't then they openly display that you aren't doing well enough to all your colleagues. Made to face up the shop in little time while you are on the tills and then they get mad that you can't do both. Only upside is that all the staff hate the managers so you can get on well with them.

Pros

Other staff who are misused are easy to get on with

Cons

Overworked, useless equipment, Managers make you feel useless, literally everything

Fun environment and great colleagues

Retail Assistant (Part-Time) (Former Employee) - Loughborough - 15 November 2020

The store I worked in was quite small, but usually busy. The managers and staff were nice, I got along with everyone which made the work more fun. Everyone was friendly. Jobs included stocking shelves, doing delivery shift, working at the till, facing, brushing and mopping the floor at the end of the day. It does tend to get very hot during the summer, and we had no AC or ceiling fans so it was a nightmare. The pay was minimum wage, and due to the nature of my hours, some weeks were better than others. Shifts were given a week, sometimes less, in advance so it wasn't easy managing work life with personal life.

Pros

Friendly colleagues and managers

Cons

Random ane inconsistent shifts, minimum pay, boring after a month

Not a long term job

Retail Assistant (Part-Time) (Current Employee) - Nuneaton - 10 March 2020

Contracted hours are low, so although the job is alright, a livable wage is not guaranteed, so it is necessary to have another form of income to supplement the wages from the job itself.

managment team is poor

Becoming one of the top sales staff in the store (Current Employee) - Ilford, Greater London - 6 December 2019

working on till is amazing, I like getting in contact with customers. This is main the reason I have survived the longest. I enjoy helping customers on the shop floor too. However, the hardest part is new management team, there is a luck of communication.

Cons

less hours, not a perment job

Awful

Store Assistant (Current Employee) - Colchester - 12 October 2019

Stay away from here. You’ll end up severely depressed. Manager bullies you all day everyday. No support. Staff are rude and awful about you. Steal from the till.

Awful.

Retail Assistant (Former Employee) - United Kingdom - 29 August 2019

Just finished an apprenticeship at Savers. It was so unorganised & no one took it seriously so I was never given any help. I was entitled to an hour a week of work on my own towards the apprenticeship, but I was hardly ever given it because I either wasn’t allowed or the shop was too busy, so I physically couldn’t take that hour, meaning I would always be behind with my work. I was on £5.60 an hour, but I’m over 18! There was an assistant manager that was SO unprofessional, shouting at us and would straight up embarrass us in front of customers as we were serving them. She would pester us about the unrealistic goals we had to meet daily, which could sometimes be over £100. The main reason she did this is because if we didn’t sell anything (which isn’t our fault because if customers don’t want a £25 perfume, they’re not going to buy it!) , management get in trouble and if we do manage to sell, they got bonuses from it. My colleagues and I felt bullied as she would pick on all of us for the smallest things, she was hypocritical about the things she would moan at us for. For example, if staff were caught talking she would not be happy but she would stand there for ages chatting away. And she would take personal calls on the shop floor!! I could go on about the negative parts of this company. I do not recommend working for this awful company.

Pros

Serving customers

Cons

Everything
