Good salary, terrible culture
Head Office Staff (Former Employee) – Melbourne, Australia – 5 June 2017
Unfortunately, the culture imposed from the top-down was aggressively skewed towards profits-at-any-cost. Senior management were known in the industry for high-profile court cases regarding disputes with previous and current staff, which promoted mistrust amongst other staff.
There was little-to-no job satisfaction, given the highly repetitive and intense workload, and so staff turn-over was high.
The hardest part of the job were the countless late finishes, due to poor management and a disregard for the time necessary to implement the changes requested.
The most enjoyable part of the job was working alongside an excellent team, compiled by the direct team managers.

It can be very catty and if you don't want to have a career in retail, you will find not many friendly staff members.

Strict policies
Expect so much and receive so little
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) – Sydney NSW – 25 July 2016
I worked for Smiggle for a year as a sales assistant. I think if the store was structured better and had better managers things would be better. The cons definitely out way the pros. If it wasn't for having a good team I would of quit a long time ago.
Cons about Smiggle:
- Bad management: Management was always changing I had 3-4 managers over the time period I was there. Each manager has a different structure on how they like their store ran which made things difficult. My last manager would tell me my selling skills weren't as good as his or if I had done something wrong so when I asked him to show me how he would do it he would never show me.
- No further training: No further training received unless your management which is ridiculous. The only further training I received was on the job. I would of loved to have received any extra training possible.
- Overtime: I can't count on my fingers how many hours of overtime I did while I was working there. I never got paid for any of it and if I had asked to get paid for that time it would always be "over budget hours for the week" and the answer was no. It's hard not to do overtime because there is always so much to do i.e. tiding up and refilling for the next day. Being expected to fill in all the paperwork plus budget book and cash up two registers in 15 minutes is impossible.
- No advancement or career: You can't really make any advancement/career in this position. I worked a lot, would always be available to extend my shift or work other peoples shifts, come in half an hour to an hour earlier, do everything that more... was asked of me and it didn't really benefit me in any way.
Pros:
- The best thing was having a good team to work with and gaining experience in retail. less
