Pros

Good experience for CV, free sandwich at lunch, discount is okay

Cons

A revolving door with new starters every other week, salary increase is almost near impossible, constructive feedback only given to deter a raise rather than for productiveness, management can be quite selective on who receives praise, a lot of extra workload to cover short staffing is expected without praise or appropriate pay, the workload can differ greatly between two colleagues on the same pay and title

Pros

Shares, discounts, free lunch, and company shut down holidays.

Cons

The worst fashion brand I have ever worked for! The whole place is so run down, mainly due to the fact that the management working here has no knowledge of fashion and how the fashion industry works, they treat their employees like slaves and expect them to work like machines. Management here have no education, no knowledge of how a garment is constructed, all they care about is filling their own pockets by making good hard earning individuals stress, trigger their anxiety and end up with depression. My experience here was awful, I now work for a fashion brand that respects and cares for their employees and I am very grateful that not all fashion brands are like Burberry.

Toxic culture in some teams

Pros

Some coworkers are great and genuinely are nice and want to help you

Cons

The con is some coworkers/managers are very toxic which results in very high turnover. Would be wary of the women’s accessories team (handbags, leather goods, soft accessories) as they don’t really treat the more entry level team members with respect, can be very rude to you, and always unreasonably expect you to know everything right from the get go even if you literally just started and are entry level. Also extremely micro managed by this team, to the point it’s almost like why doesn’t the manager just do it themselves.
