Pros

Some lovely staff but don't stay long.

Cons

This establishment should be investigated!!!! The treatment of staff is beyond words, the turnover of staff speaks volumes and is enough evidence of the treatment of staff,this is all down to management. The level of bullying is unthinkable from management!!!!

The Curtain Store Response
8y
The company has been well established for over 40 years and continues to grow and develop year on year, we are one of the most respected in the Fabric retail industry. All staff are treated the same way, when new employee's join the company they are given every opportunity to showcase the skills they can bring and the management then work closely to develop the area's in which the may need development. Those employee's who have been with the company for many years, of which there are many, are heavily involved in developing and reviewing those who are new to the company. This entire process is timely but the most effective at developing not only the individuals concerned but the close team that is required in a retail unit of this size. In relation to staff absences, management work closely with all parties to ensure they are supported to ensure they are able to enjoy their time at work. Should employee's have regular periods of absence this is investigated to see if the employee can be supported to prevent this, however if after all support channels have been exhausted then, and only then would the matter be dealt with through disciplinary proceedings. The store is a retail store, the majority of business is carried out at the weekend, it is explained clearly to all at interview stage, however should an employee require time off if the make a request this is reviewed in line with the needs of the business and in the vast majority of cases it is approved, it is only when the needs of the business require it that any request may be declined. Bullying and harassment IS NOT TOLLERATED, anywhere in the company, this goes from the Managing Director all the way through the company, any incident of harassment or bullying is investigated and dealt with immediately. We are a very long time established business that has grown every year for the last 40. Whilst The Curtain Store at Home is the newest endeavor of the company, we want everyone of our employees to enjoy their time with us, and of course it is hard work at times but we offer help and support at every step.

Pros

Not one pro all cons

Cons

Where to start, soo all of the responses from the MD are just scripted talk as for harassment and defamation of character for those grounds to stand there has to be untruth to the things your are claiming to be defamatory which lets face it not one word is wrong the good reviews are written by people who are part of a click or are threatened with the sack so have to do it to keep their job. I really hope the world sees what an awful working establishment this really is.
