Toxic working culture, poor management.

Retail sales assistant

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Paid breaks, friendly sales assistants.

Cons

Unprofessional working environment, including inappropriate comments being made regularly. intimidation of staff, excessively micromanaged them and retail assistants were blamed for poor sales and customers not making purchases. Communication skills were poor, with assistants often being ignored, not listened to, interrupted, made to feel unwelcome or disruptive by asking questions. Sudden resignations went unresolved and unreported, as the shop is isolated from senior management and HR.
