Met some great people in my team but upper management can be very intimidating.Good place if you want to learn sales, didn’t love the customer demographic.

Fast paced and stressful

QA (Former Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 2 August 2023

Management is not great, they are not supportive, they don't help you go forward and learn. Too busy with their own work, working overtime everyday, not even taking a lunch break. Everyone is stressed, overworked and gossiping is completely normal. You can often hear whispering and everyone is unhappy and complaining and it's normal to work overtime all the time. The turnover is high, people leave the company all the time.There are some nice people there and that is the best part about working there.

Pros

sometimes get lunch or free muffins on special days like international womens day

Cons

everything

alright at the start

Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Cannington WA - 29 July 2023

Started off okay but when you are left alone it becomes hard, you'll be at one place at one time but won't be able to do the other thing. customers can be a little difficult to deal with

Competitive with very little support from management

Sales (Former Employee) - NSW - 15 May 2022

Long hours, often understaffed, high pressure to complete tasks with little support. No support from management. High expectations of staff. Lack of loyalty to staff members.

Big changes need to happen.

Store Manager (Former Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 18 July 2021

All staff were completely burnt out with no recognition or respect from upper management. The amount of actions required did not match with their customers first requirement and it was impossible to achieve the goals unless you are in a bigger store with more staff.

Pros

Product, discount

Cons

Unrealistic expectations, high stress, staff turnover

Great place to work!

Accounts Payable Officer (Former Employee) - Richmond VIC - 4 July 2020

Great place to work! Friendly environment, with lots of support from your team. Many ways to be involved with the company, such as social committees. Very high work load, organisation is a must!

Not Recommended

Manager (Current Employee) - Sydney NSW - 10 May 2020

This company is extremely stressful with little to no help from upper management. There are clearly issues higher up and it trickles down to all of the staff. A lot of managers do not know how to do their job and receive very little training regardless of how many times they ask. The work culture is abhorrent and the company knows this and refuses to do anything about it. There is a lot of double handling and a lot of operations to do every day with no coverage. They ask everything of you but will not help you and will take all of your staff coverage away and leave you to try and do everything.

Warm and friendly environment

Sales Assistant (Current Employee) - Whitfords Beach WA - 31 March 2020

Forever New is a fantastic company that always has a great atmosphere between employees and between customers. One of my favourite parts of the job is interacting with my customers, we get quite a lot of regulars in our store and its so great knowing them all by name and them knowing me in return. I also love the faith that my managers put into me to run the store and to fulfil managerial tasks on their behalf. Forever New has taught me how to provide excellent customer service to ever customer. The hardest part of my job is managing the large intake of stock as well as ensuring all other tasks have been completed in the day.

Great and easy product to sell, great customers and nice people to work with. Very little team recognition and staff rewards are hard to earn. Little work life balance

A great place for team culture

Store Manager/assistant store manager (Former Employee) - World Square/Rouse Hill - 11 February 2020

A great place to work as part of a team and to form great bonds. Your store is where you will find the most comfort and be able to successfully do your job, upper management can be a mixed bag but generally very supportive of your team. I learnt a lot about myself working for this company and would go back if I had the option.

Pros

Staff discount

Cons

Low wage budgets

Over worked and under paid

Head office (Former Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 28 September 2019

No communication or job security. One day your working for the company and the next day you’re made redundant or walked out the door. Before this happens, they have already found your replacement but have changed the job title so the company can’t be sued. No opportunity to grow within the company. Staff are in and out like a revolving door.

Very helpful managers and teammates

Sales Assistant (Casual) (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 14 September 2019

Eventhough I worked there for just over 2 months, I loved my time there. My managers were extremely helpful and humble, while my teammates never failed to lend me a hand whenever I needed it. 10/10 workplace.

Average

Christmas Casual Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Watergardens VIC - 8 September 2019

Work culture could be much better. Management don't seem to care. Little room for growth, better training could be provided. Pay was okay, but you worked more than you should get paid.
