Terrible company to work for - Assistant Manager John Smedley Employee Review

I don't know who wrote the negative review on here but, for anyone who may be put of by it (like I nearly was) ignore it! I've been working for John Smedley for a little while now and can only say positive things about my experience. The pay seems pretty good for retail at £8 per hour plus you get good commission (I usually walk away with an extra £5 after a quiet shift but sometimes it can get up to £20 or more). The other staff are all really nice and hours pretty flexible by comparison to my previous retail/bar jobs. Perhaps the best part is the fact that you're surrounded by beautiful John Smedley knitwear all day long! Definitely a good shout for someone who loves the brand..

Can't think of anything so far.. The shop currently has a nice balance of not being too busy and not being too quiet. Maybe things will get a little hectic as more customers come piling in for their winter garments but for now, it's all good.

None!! I wouldn't let my worst enemy work here.

The company pays you peanuts for working your butt off in which they don't recognise your hard work. The pay is incredibly low for a so called luxury brand. And management are super sloppy and expect you to be the brains, I don't think so!! It is a very unorganised shop.
