Pros

the best fashion retail training on the high street. management training is also exceptional. i would recommend anybody new to fashion to work here as it gives you great confidence in the work place.

Cons

extremely long hours if you work in management with no overtime paid. senior management can disregard all of your work as being easy when in fact it is terribly difficult to get such a busy store up to scratch in the visual sense.

Pros

The opportunities are there if you want them. Full time at christmas, pretty steady overtime the rest of the year. Chances to move up in the company.

Cons

Morning shifts can be difficult to pick up.

Pros

Holiday flexibility, nothing else other than that.

Cons

You are worked like a dog, regularly referred to as a "body" as opposed to your name, or at least you department. You are expected to do the job of up 3 people as the stores are always understaffed and they refuse to employ at the same rate that lose employees. The conditions in some of the stores are ridiculous, heating on all year round so the heat is unbearable, the "VM" room which stores all the equipment is a literal deathtrap.
