TOG24 Careers and Employment

I enjoyed working for a family run business and at the same time, within a larger corporate organisation (Debenhams); would have still been working for them now if Debenhams hadn't closed.Being located in Manchester meant we were always busy - it was a very large store and we had departments on numerous floors. The Debenhams store management and staff were a great team to work with - always driven and upbeat plus you were praised for your successes.Contact with our own (Tog) management was mainly by phone or email; very rarely in personThe family who own the company were easy to communicate with and open to ideasI enjoyed selling and driving sales plus merchandising the sales floors to improve the look of the departments as well as help increase salesThe stock was good quality which made it easier to sell. We had sales budgets to aim for plus other goals; I'm a target driven individual so this worked for meAt various times the decisions the company made weren't great and that could be frustrating, especially when your own knowledge/opinion wasn't considered at the timeOverall I rather enjoyed that period of employment. especially working as part of a large Debenhams team - I have many happy memories from my time there

Worst Working Environment

There is no job security so I wouldn’t recommend working here if you’re looking for a long term career, there isn’t much to do on a day to day basis and they’re isn’t many customers that enter the store throughout the day, If you enjoy working in a dead environment with no communication then this would be ideal for you. The company and manager do not care about your wellbeing, the temperature in store is below the legal limit and it is freezing in store, they do not let you wrap up and you won’t be able to relocate to a different store. I wouldn’t recommend working here.

Okay

Quiet a lot of the time. The introduction of hourly/daily targets causes problems. Some problems in lower management and work environment. Upper management very good however. Overall an okay place to work.
