Crabtree & Evelyn Employee Reviews about "low pay"

Pros

50% discount, (down from 70% in previous years). However, products are so expensive you are still paying £8 for a body wash at half price. Nice products.

Cons

Low pay for what you are expected to do (I was a key holder, with more responsibility however no extra pay). Hours vary too much. 0 hour contracts can be common. Management do not care what happens as long as you meet targets. If you miss a target in a month, you are made to feel you are to blame.

Pros

Nothing just don’t do it

Cons

Low pay rate No full time No benefits Very slow at times Unorganized manager Very high turn over rate people quit as fast as they come 85 dollar maximum for making plan

Pros

Flexible Hours Easy work Some customers are entitled

Cons

Low pay Can get boring when it’s a slow day

Pros

Beautiful store, packaging and range of products.

Cons

Poor training for store managers (3 days). Lack of support from both corporate office and regional DM. Complication back office systems making for difficult reporting and keeping track of sales, inventory, top sellers,etc. Complicated visual and floor set changes and way too often. Too many shipments all at once with lack of focus on what actually sells in the store. Lack of focus on core products resulting in customer dissastifaction with overall brand. Low pay in urban competitive areas resulting in high turnover.

Pros

Great products design and overall very nice shop. They have good offers and the clients are generally respectful and smiley.

Cons

The organisation is a mess, staff were very unhappy and scared of the manager. Very negative environment and very low pay. Commissions on perfume sales creates an uncomfortable and tense shop to work at.

Pros

fantastic product. training in 5 star selling will help wherever you go in life. discount not bad.

Cons

very low pay. daily, weekly, monthly goals are insane. No incentive for part time employees to stay.

Pros

Discount on products, time off when needed, pretty place to work and play with beauty products all day

Cons

Low pay for service expected from employees, wages don't match local cost of living, mistakes regularly filter down from home office leaving the employees in the stores to clean up the mess or fix mistakes, poor planning from higher-ups

Pros

Most products are well made. The product knowledge manual is very helpful when explaining the benefits of usage. The discount is great and the foot traffic is low so you're not stressed like other high volume retailers. These are small boutique like stores with a handful of staff. Request your days off in advance.

Cons

Low pay and slow foot traffic so there's not much to do. I worked there part-time evening/weekends for 1 year and we were only busy during the holidays. Upper management set unreasonably high sales goals.
