Pros

Staff discount, great team ( everyone works together and supports each other)

Cons

We have been understaffed without a GM for over 3 months, there has been no attempts to fill in the empty spots of sales associates or GM position. Other staffs have to work over time every single shift for now already 2 months and are deemed selfish if they request to use personal days off or vacation time. There are no notifications on schedule changes and management just expects that everyone will put work before their personal life (however it is alright for management to put their life before work because we will work overtime).

Luxury Company with less than Luxury Pay.

Pros

Aside from a few co-workers, there really were not any pros of working at Burberry. ZERO balance from work to life, and terrible hours. Unless you are in the retail mindset, and like working 10-7pm shifts and random days off, do not work for Burberry.

Cons

Manager and department managers constantly nagging and thinking their departments need service right away. The majority of the staff just gossips about each other, and morale was nonexistent. There was constant slandering of upper management, with upper management just faking smiles all the time. Unless you're willing to move around the country for bad pay, there is not a lot of room for growth.
