Sunglass Hut Employee Reviews for Sales Assistant

Used to get great commission and incentives. Now only get 1% on sales 3% if everyone meets targets. No incentives now. Lone working from 6-8pm sometimes 4-8pm. As a store and other members of staff its' a great place to work.

Could be fun

Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Kingston upon Thames, Greater London - 25 March 2023

Could be a fun place to work, in summer it was definitely better because of how busy it was and in winter it was so so slow that you’d wanna pull your hair out. But you might like that. There’s issues like management and the thefts that we always get blamed for but all in all it was okay .

Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Reading, Berkshire - 3 November 2022

Working at Sunglass Hut Reading, I had the best summer of my life. In terms of having schedules done and having days off, making sure the days I couldn’t do I had holiday… everything was perfect. The pay is fair and the team are amazing.

No growing plaxe

Sales Assistant (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 21 April 2017

I'm working since 5 month in sunglass hut Peter jones. Since I've started there was no supervisor and no assistant manager, only my manager. So for all these months I've done a lot of supervisor's work but at the end sho took a new girl as supervisor because she told that I'm too young.

fun ,fast pace . always busy

Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Milton Keynes - 6 June 2016

loved the one to one customer service . Everyday always different either dealing with customers on the perfect pair of sunglasses or taking in and putting out our deliveries. enjoyed being part of a team and learnt how important that skill is. learning new things from house keeping, how to play a part of customer after-care. I was trained on the tills and cash handling . Based on a concession in John Lewis i learnt the importance of given 100%.
