Does Jack Wills offer employee discounts?
Pros
Friendly environment Youthful workers Great discount and free items every season (however number fell over the year and issues with some staff having to pay for their 'free' items due to management mistakes)
Cons
Bad pay especially for the amount they make you do Lack of responsibility from some managers Awful contract, constant changing of hours every week and lack of structure in terms of hours which resulted in cutting of all sales associates hours without notice. Have lots of sales that we must remember Old and outdated ways of doing tasks Different rules for each person, no structure
Advice to Management
Take into account how many tasks and timing the sales associates are given, some management members don't treat some of the staff with the respect that you should assume. An issue with taking accountability for mistakes and majority of the time this was then put upon the sales associates.
