December 2018
Department Manager, Retail Store:
Very busy not for the lazy. Ongoing pressure. Pay is above pay level for position. Culture is generally good but can be disrupted by poor management. You basically get thrown in the deep end and learn as you go. Training at the start is good but you learn more on the job. My opinion is too much favouritism with Head Office as most managers who bully and cause conflict are not held accountable for their actions. They have meetings with head office but ultimately stay in the buisness.Good Line Managers have left due to bad Store Managers who continually have investigations and disciplinary meetings but are still in the business. Very Sad. However I enjoyed the fast pace. Not good for family life.
