Pros
* The 50% off staff discount * The girls you met and work with are fun
Cons
* Regionals/Managers expect you to prioritise work over other commitments * No point putting in your availabilities as they are often ignored, you will be finding yourself rostered on days you can not work * Unlike other companies where managers help you find covers, Lovisa managers won’t. If you can’t find anyone to cover your shift you are expected to work * Regionals/Managers will most likely have a favourite...

Pros
- Discounted jewellery - Nice jewellery and stores - Mostly nice team members (which is standard, not everyone is going to be nice) - good as a first job as will hire casuals with zero experience, but only if you're young (I know that's discriminatory, but that's the truth) - can use the experience gained in this job to then get a better job
Cons
- Expect you to work for free (as in you don't get paid to open or close, for training or for team meetings) - expected to mop floors after close, using water from bathroom as stores have no taps and not get paid for doing it - you're expected to pay for items for store out of own pocket instead of petty cash - toxic work environment - they cross the line from being assertive in getting sales results into bullying...

Treat your employees with respect and you won't have so many leave. You'll also get better sales results from happy employees.

Pros
Hard work culture toughens you up and builds you a hard shell Staff discounts which are generous When new roles are avaliable they look to promote from within
Cons
Senior management that are unqualified to be making decisions and managing people. Clueless how to manage people, unable to mentor and develop staff. Manage by instilling fear and terror throughout the workplace. Some managers will lie and blame other teams and their own teams to protect their own reputations. HR are strictly a hire and fire department. Made up of promoted store girls, they are not qualified either....

Pros
- Good discount -Good regional manager (depending on who you get - Get to be surrounded by jewellery learn skills on how to handle pressure and negativity
Cons
-Rude managers, will push you and pressurise you every 10 mins. will notice every action and will constantyl point out mistakes. Crazy expectations with low wages. Not even one girl stays for long. Rude customers. It's not a styling role rather a saleswomen role where you have to convince customers
Advice to Management
Please coach managers to not treat team members like their servants. and lessen the pressure you give to team members.
