The manager and the regional manager were the sweetest
They understand that a person do mistakes and they encourage you to be better
If you do well you get a part time job offer

Pros

I've been at Lovisa for nearly 7 years and have always felt supported in my career progression. I started in stores and had the opportunity to intern in head office during the busy Christmas period. I loved the fast-paced environment and support I received from the team. Nearly 3 years on from my internship and I still love coming into the office to face new challenges (on a global scale!) and to see my work colleagues who are now my good friends.

Pros

Lovisa is an okay place to work, for a first job in retail I would recommend starting off there to get your foot in the door in retail because they hire anyone - retail experience is not needed. But then start considering going elsewhere! I love the team and all of the girls I have worked with at Lovisa, they have given me the courage, confidence and support you would need in this position! Lovisa is good as they teach you how to work well in teams, how to manage teams, how to manage yourself and prioritise by given lots of responsibility needed in the outside world. Another thing that is good is the 50% discount on all of their products.

Advice to Management

My advice to Lovisa management would be... If you invest in your staff and provide them with good working conditions and benefits, they will be more likely to stay and radiant positive energy to others, at work, and reflect on the company when talking about Lovisa. I truly believe that your staff is your most valuable asset to your business, if you care about them and invest in them they will do well for you and your business, these girls are our frontline employees and they are who wear the product, and sell the product to the customers and managers are the supporters of this process and operation and should be able to do just that from behind the scenes! From a sales point of view, if you want to motivate your team to sell more product and make more money be able to offer an individual extrinsic reward and not say you get a $15 voucher to mecca, it needs to be more inviting and motivating to staff to be able to work hard for this and they WILL prove themselves to you! As well as providing regional managers and state managers that are customer focused not sales focused and can't get pushy or rude when targets are not met. I am feeling a back-stabbing vibe from certain regional and state managers and that should not be on in Lovisa, they need to be more understanding that we are all only humans and doing our best - some of these girls that work here are only 14 and do not need this stress on top of school work, keep work work and leave personal/gossiping out of it. I think this is a MAJOR issue and starting to affect individuals' mental illnesses, depression and anxiety as work is so stressful at Lovisa, plus whatever they are dealing with at home, in relationships, and in health, its not fair to put this onto someone. I think Lovisa should have more of an open door policy and acknowledge mental illnesses and have a stronger culture and support network to make their employees actually want to be there, be recognised that Lovisa cares about who they are as a person and how they are. We should be able to keep Lovisa being fun and relax, let our hair down because we work in retail at the end of the day and should not be mopey and not be hating our lives because of how you have decided to run this company!
