      Pros

      A few great people working for Doddle, they almost make it worthwile.

      Cons

      * Why are you opening so many new stores and Morrisons shops when you have barely any customers in your regular stores? * Why are you hiring so many new members of staff then closing stores all across the board and making nearly everyone redundant? This job is a joke, you have absolutely no security and no room to grow unless you're besties with someone up top. Where is the need for a cluster manager and an area manager? Are you just promoting your friends for the sake of it? Management are condescending and don't ever listen, they pretend to but it's an absolute joke. If you don't meet targets in store (which is nearly impossible given the tiny footfall) then you're seen as pretty much worthless but if you do get customers signed up then you can get away with pretty much anything you like! This job is basic retail but it magically manages to feel like much more and so unfortunately is able to absolutely suck the life right out of you. I know colleagues who are on medication due to the stress this job causes and that's a major damn issue. DO NOT work here. It's not worth your time and even if you start, you'll probably be made redundant in a few months anyway.

      Doddle Response

      Hello, We’re really sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your time at Doddle. We’re making some changes to the business to ensure we’re able to respond to customer demand for more locations. These new locations are slightly smaller than our older stores which enables us to open a lot more of them and offer a convenient delivery option for more customers. It’s been sad that as part of this process we have said goodbye to some colleagues but have made sure they are looked after and had time to find their next opportunity. It’s one of the challenges but also opportunities of working for a growing company that there will be changes along the way and we hope that you can appreciate this. We’re doing everything we can to get the right balance for our teams but also for our customers and partners.

      Pros

      Not many. Working remote was nice, not having to be around the CEO of North America - Dan Nevin. I have worked with this guy at two different stops and have seen him be totally disrespectful treating people that report to him like total jerks. Don't waste your time with this guy.

      Cons

      So you are selling a returns portal that is far behind the race when it comes to certain functionality and capabilities. You will be able to sell to brands and retailers that don't know any better and haven't studied the competition. Those brands that have done their homework will quickly sniff out the ineffectiveness of the portal. Doddle does have a few "work arounds" but the large enterprise retailers don't want "work arounds". Secondly - partnering with the USPS is a total disaster. Brand and Retailers don't respect the USPS. Without this appreciation and respect, a successful partnership seems very difficult. Lastly - Our goals changed monthly. The CEO of NA had no idea what he was doing during this time. Working remotely I felt like I was working on an island selling this solution by myself.
