Pros
Great place to develop luxury retail skills, network and build product knowledge. Strong team environment, wonderful gratis in the beginning.
Cons
Place was disorganised and without a manager for months throughout manic festive period, had to work over full-time hours despite my part-time contract to support the team. Later, we were joined by a manager who did not care about the team or the store's requirements but solely about her own progression. HR did not care at all when I reported manager's discrimination and bullying on many proven occasions, backed by my supervisor and team, which lead to me leaving - including forcing me to come into work during a violent cold and fever with only one other staff member on the shop floor, and her leaving the store to frequently have cigarette and coffee breaks every half hour and returning stinking of it.
