Looks great on the surface - Anonymous employee Glassons Employee Review

- absolutely no HR sense, no HR department - stores are run by 20 year olds who are impressionable and are expected to encourage and push the "Glassons culture" - anyone who maintains a position above store-manager will absolutely ignore you when they enter the store. There is no acknowledgement you exist unless you go out of your way to say hello to them. and even then, all you get is a quick Hi. - area manager only cares about visual merchandising. They enter the store and spend the entire time sitting out the back organising stock. There are never any conversations about team development or support. - as an employee, you are another number. All the overtime, hard work and effort you put in doesn't matter at the end of the day. - huge emphasis on "green washing". The marketing team do a great job at pretending the company cares about the environment but they still push out thousands of units of low quality stock, per store, each week. - Team meetings aren't paid (you are offered Pizza) and you are made to feel like you're letting the team down if you don't attend - you're managed off policies that do not exist, and when you ask to see them you're ignored or it's laughed off. - you're position is a "stylist" but all you do is let customers into the fitting rooms and return tried on clothing back to the shop floor. - a lot of poor culture within the stores, incredibly clicky and every one knows every ones business, no matter how sensitive. - they insist on recording employees vaccine status and if they've tested positive, but fail to explain to staff why that information is required and why it is being documented. - 10 minute and 30 minute breaks are treated as "optional"
