Avoid Management Roles

Pros

Great first job when you're 16/17, good pay and good hours.

Cons

As soon as you start climbing the management ladder at schuh, you'll realise how corrupt everything is. The higher management do not care about you or your progression. I've seen amazing people who genuinely loved schuh be pushed and managed out and it was devastating. My manager bullied me out of the store until i was so mentally broken i had no choice but to quit.

Pros

Some people were nice, but that's the same as any workplace

Cons

A very toxic work environment where bullying is tolerated, people are pushed to their limits and managers do not have enough management experience to function in their roles. Some pretty shocking behaviour went on.

Pros

Discounts after a year are good or if you are on a full time/ any sort of managerial contract. Quite flexible with hours and it’s easy to change your availability. Really good chance for progression if that is what you want to do.

Cons

Worst place I have ever worked. No one speaks to you when you first start and even after that you have to spend everyday working to be a favourite, or else you’re treated like rubbish. Management act like they are still in high school and the environment is so toxic, practically bullied out the door. The pay especially for the sales advisors is terrible for what the job actually entails, so much work required for basically minimum wage. The contracts are also so small for part time so not much job security, you can be working full time hours but only getting the benefit of your tiny contract (to which there is no benefit). If you want to spend the rest of your life here then you will enjoy it but otherwise you are made to feel stupid and like an outsider.

Pros

6 weeks of holiday, quite good support with regards to training and learning.

Cons

They say they care about mental health needs,but they really really don't! Bullying by assistant manager and trainee manager. Too much pressure on sales assistants "perform" with regards to targets etc etc. Not a good place for your mental health especially since staff are pitted against each other.

Pros

Great discounts and easy working days

Cons

Awful place to work management do not lead by example. No upholding or demonstration of the schuh values. The team wasn't great witnessed bullying plus racism. There also is no room for opportunity or growth. Up selling products an forced conversation with customers

Pros

None. Zero. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

Cons

Employing store managers who couldn't run a bath, never mind a store. Not listening to long standing staff who raise concerns. Ignoring mental health issues. Store manager bullies, who do absolutely no work.
