Fun workplace but high turnover in staff
|
Great first job, fast paced paced working environment but very fun and friendly amongst salesassistant. Very high turnover in staff, especially within management however. Hard to progress too.

the people there are really nice to work with however there are some very high expectations that aren't always possible to reach
|
I would clock in and have a briefing of the day and what the targets are for the day. i would also be told any updates about the shop at this point. then the floor leader would tell me what station i was at and for the majority of the shift i would stay at one station.
i did learn a lot about communication with customers it also improved my confidence with talking to people
The hardest part of the job is the pressure to upsell items as it is difficult to get the parents or customers to spend more money in the shop after already spending £60 on 1 bear. Another thing that made my job difficult were the adults who came and blamed me for the prices of the products and blaming me for them spending so much money.
the best bit about the job was the people I worked with. They were all nice to me when I started and continued to be throughout the time that I was there.

- shifts on both days of the weekend when i had availability during the week, i had no time to do anything else but work at the weekend

Overall great!
|
I've worked here for only a couple months. I've had great experiences with my managers, but less so with other employees. My store has a crazy amount of people who quit, and some issues with attendance and hygiene, which can make a job I love very stressful.
Customers can be awful. As with any sales job, you deal with frustrated customers who will yell at you, be short, and find ways to make everything your fault. You have to be able to push through a lot of very emotionally taxing experiences in order to get to the lovely ones where you make a little kid very happy.

Fun Workplace and Flexible Hours
|
Everyone was fantastic here. Worked here for over 2 years and got a raise every year I've worked here. They're very flexible in their work hours and time off. The pay is average to other retail places but if you enjoy working with kids in a fast paced environment then you will absolutely enjoy worki g here.

Busy and Fast Paced
|
Super busy store. Since other malls nearby only have kiosks, people want to come here for the real experience. I loved my manager, but we were always understaffed (not her fault). The pay was very low - $11.50 an hour for how stressful the environment was. I loved my co-workers. We had a great team. Overall very small store with a large volume of customers and little pay.

Emotionally Taxing, For Little Reward
|
It was a fun job at first until you see first hand why no one stays here.
Management sucks, they sit in the back while all the sales associate's struggle on the sales floor. They don't care about their employees. They cut sales associate hours for new hires but never manager hours. You cant get tips, cant show tattoos, or barely any piercings. You are expected to be a teacher, a babysitter, a therapist, a door mat for all the customers who are allowed to walk all over you.
