Great Company - Great Ethos - Anonymous employee Childrensalon Employee Review

I have worked at Childrensalon for over 5 years and LOVE it. It is the best job I have had, I have worked for other companies both large and small and will not be leaving Childrensalon to return to them anytime soon. I see the negative reviews and note that from the "tone" and "wording" they are most likely left by the same person who having been on the end of one of her rants I can only say I am happy they no longer work here. If bullying was a job then they would excel and bullies do not prosper at Childrensalon. I have worked in London and had to leave 2 hours (on a good day) before work to get in and get home 2 hours after my long shift finished my 20 minute drive to head Office is a JOY compared to that , the fact that I get the same pay as London and see my kids more is even better.. (the benefits are better than previous jobs also) My management are amazing and always push me to make more of myself and help me in grow in my job and as a person. I love that I get the opportunity to volunteer for charities in work time and that making the odd cake for the office will raise money for local people less fortunate than my family. FYI my manager is not a family member nor is her manager! I do have to work bank holidays but hey this is a retail company and that is expected. If you dont like it go get a job in an office (most of which are now opening longer and longer and more and more days) Every day is different and like any job you get the odd "bad" day but even on a bad day everyone pulls together and has a laugh. The staff here tend to stay and progress, it is rare for people to leave unless they are asked to (like the bully I referred to earlier) I have seen people come join a department quite and shy worried about their job (because of bad experiences elsewhere) and settle in to the Childrensalon way and blossom. It is a multicultural environment that allows people to grow and thrive. I challenge the negative reviewers that perhaps they were the wrong fit and perhaps the nasty diatribe they spew out says a lot more about "them" that it does Childrensalon and the 288 staff they employ
