Henderson Group reviews about "work life balance"

You will have no life and the workload and stress will drain you

Working late evening shifts & unsociable hours.

As with all retail, difficult to maintain work life balance with shift work

Bad for career path development

-Very high staff turnover - Ive worked here for about a year and weve had about a dozen people come and go. Apparently this is very normal. -Poor pay for an integral management role. -Every other manager Ive spoken to in my store and in a bunch of other stores is on the verge of burning out. Partly from lack of routine and contsantly changing shift patern and partly from the negative pressure put on the management team from HQ and area management. -Very antisocial shifts - impossible to have any kind of work life balance or routine. You will have to work between 6am and midnight so you wont have any standard work time. -Very very bad upper management - my area manager is so bad I couldnt believe it when I first met him. Very arrogant but has no answers. Area management team seem to cause or at least worsen more issues than they solve. -The company tries to portray itself as an employee first employer but when it comes right down to it they really dont care about their staff.

The pay is not as high as city centre rolls

No work life balance, unpaid overtime, management are bullies and totally unsympathetic to other customer advisors needs, expected to fufil duties you are not trained to do.

I wouldn’t know where to begin

Tight staffing budgets Unrealistic sales targets Work/life balance difficult to maintain due to opening hours- particularly over seasonal periods
