RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Mountain Warehouse part-time
Pros
When the store's busy it feels good, the time flies, I get to use my knowledge of the products to help people. The staff at my store are nice so it feels good. A 50% staff discount it very nice too.
Cons
Minimum wage which as a 17 year old is £4.55 an hour, barely feels worth it. Head office is also completely useless as the company is run by one man and a dog, the different levels of management don't talk to each other so our store is rammed full of stock we don't have room for but head office insists we do etc.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Mountain Warehouse for less than a year
Pros
Only need to complete one shift a week to meet contract requirements. 50% staff discount.
Cons
Only a 1/2 hr unpaid break, spending hours on your feet with no option to sit down (9-6). Stock rooms are chaos and constantly changing prices which need manually changing. Unpaid 3hr evening product training sessions. Minimum pay possible under UK pay guidance. Not an accessible store - down a flight of stairs and little option for adjustments in a very cramped store and company culture.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Mountain Warehouse full-time for less than a year
Pros
50% staff discount but the quality of the clothes it's low anyway-all unhealthy synthetic from China, better don't spend your money!
Cons
You have to sign 3 pages of Training Induction without any training to ONLY cover the company's back and in the Employee Handbook, you find 350 times the word ''dismiss'' !!! The temperature in the stockroom in the winter is exactly as it is outside, the company doesn't spend money to ensure any common sense working condition. No staff room, but a one-metre table in the could stockroom for staff lunch, the brake per day is only 30 min, plus in a silent consensus with Managers, staff are obliged to work 8,5h/day and be paid only 8h otherwise are dismissed. Horible place to work.

Pros
50% staff discount Flexible working if your manager is agreeable
Cons
Store Managers usually highly inexperienced so thrown in at deep end. They’ve often come straight from a basic supervisory role in high street retail - think Card Factory type places not Argos. But they’re hungry for a career and can’t believe their luck when a company actually hires them despite zero previous Store Manager experience! Therefore store managers will work ridiculously long hours and bend over backwards for no reward, thinking they’re impressing the Area Manager - who is often a complete twit - when really they’ve just been hired because they’re so ambitious they’re gullible to how Mountain Warehouse will manipulate them ! Health and safety is appalling and corners will be cut constantly. I’m talking delivery days where piling up cardboard boxes in front of the fire exits for several hours becomes acceptable despite the store manager actually potentially being fined for this. Beware staff sorting deliveries in the back room because if the area manager makes a random visit whilst you’re chucking those boxes up by the fire exit, your store manager could well blame it on you if they don’t particularly like you, they’re so ambitious don’t put it past them. Mountain Warehouse are notorious for finding constructive ways to dismiss you. Pay is minimum wage and barely 30p an hour more once you’re promoted to supervisor. Don’t be chuffed about the promotion - they’ll insist at interview ‘the company likes to progress staff quickly’ and demand you tick the ‘yes’ box for future promotion. Read the small print in everything, keep your head down for 1 year until eligible for legal recourse, then join a trade union. Your fellow colleagues will be the only good thing about this job. Unless you’re a complete dosser, in which case you can blag as much sick time off as you like and faff about on shift taking 6 hours to size cube and unpack deliveries.
