Pros
Provided training to support transition into merchandise teams Sometimes the coffee is nice
Cons
-Absolutely HORRIBLE pay structure. You're paid crumbs while being promised a non-existant role on completion of program. Exploited to hold a position that you aren't paid for as its masked as work experience. That experience does not count as you werent actually in that post. -Not a dynamic workplace & definitely not open to new ways of working. Traditional and likes to glorify people who have been in the same position for years (read black professionals) whereas non-people of colour are always considered for growth opportunities and move up. -No transparency was given about exit roles after the program as no clear plan was set. HR teams are good at wording responses to their advantage- be very careful -Zero flexibility from the company -Not a very people-centric organisation, unrealistic expectations for employees to deliver while little support offered to assist. -HR non-existant. As a trainee, you are made to feel like you dont matter & any of your concerns are almost always disregarded as you are seen as a "nobody". Titles are everything in that place, thats who gets taken seriously.
