Pros

Depending on the store you get, staff is friendly and most store managers are accomodating. Staff discount is at 50% off. Good for a part time experience.

Cons

No AWS. Reimbursement of medical leave is up to $25. Foreigners must pay up to 2 months of their pay for every contract renewal. They are highly dependant on offers and promotions which requires constant vm changes and updates of which sometimes announced at the very last minute. Promos tend to overlap and clash with each other. Favouritism within higher management. Short of staff most of the time and management do not care when staff is overworked and exhausted. Management is only about sales and reducing as much labour hours as possible. There is no proper exit interview and feedback is not taken seriously. Please avoid joining this place unless you would just like to experience as a part timer.

Pros

The children are so funny!

Cons

No back of house area, no toilets the nearest public toilet takes 10mins to walk to often is dirty and don't have toilet paper, No fridge or mircowave and even got told to not let the staff keep bottles of water on the stock racking so no access to drinking water throughout the day. No where to hang your coats or bags and the stockroom is overflowing with stock which meant for the most of winter my coat has been on a floor sometimes still wet from rain when I put it on at the end of my shift. No hot food and no keep refrigerated food items can be taken in to work. You can hear the loud music clearly in the back meaning no where for 5mins peace. The RMs and HO are not realistic at all. They are rude and can not show you enough that you are worthless to them. Even though the turnover is nearly 80%. Always on a tasks means you never have time for customers. If you ever fall behind on the endless amounts of tasks they will belittle you! I have never been so overworked, stressed and de motivated in my whole life. They only think I learnt since working here is how to hold my wee for longer and that no matter what I do I will not be good enough for Smiggle.
