Clemenger Group Ltd Retail Services

You get to work after a lengthy commute and the managers get mad if you’re a bit early. Training is thorough and is paid for.
Don’t be surprised if managers are fake and gossip about you to fellow team members. They are not transparent and will tell you that you are doing great in sales and then sack you the next day. The staff in-store are cliquey and catty (yes, they will make jokes and comments about your appearance behind your back and to your face). I notice certain team members easily get jealous when you have a successful week in sales. Your achievements will hardly be recognised because of this. Staff in store don’t share rostering fairly despite roster supposedly being a rotating roster. There was always a certain someone who almost ALWAYS gets the weekend off even though she’s full time… HR will make you pick between your job and your health and don’t get me started on upper management and their unrealistic sales targets. I miss my job but I don’t miss the feeling of coming home late after work feeling less than human. This place has shattered my confidence as a creative and I’m traumatised by my experience here. There was also several weeks where there was no store managers on the weekend (our peak periods) which makes it absolute nightmare.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people and culture. It's very supportive and collaborative. The business definitely nurtures and retains talent where it can, I have experienced this personally. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Always lots of changes but that's also a great part of the role and company; always something interesting to work through autonomously and with your team.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Positive, collaborative, supportive with a focus on development. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fast paced and varied. No two days are alike but it keeps it interesting. Working with a great team allows me to keep up with the pace and be adaptable.

The description lists training, etc.; there wasn't any formal training. I got thrown off the deep end and placed in a store by myself trying to figure out what to do. The communication with the management was disgraceful as well. They also use an app that times what you do in real time, so the pressure can be overwhelming at times. Ticket printing is a hassle, and also some of the planograms are in reverse of what’s on the page; very confusing. One of the Worst jobs I’ve had, don’t waste your time.

Clemenger has been so hospitable to me even though I have been with the company for a short period time, I feel as though my managers and I have a vey strong relationship and a relationship where it is not just about work and actually care about things that go on in your life. The hardest part of the job would be dealing with certain types of customers and the most enjoyable would be seeing everyone in the office and having lunch. 

Typically had to work Monday to Friday, averaging 30 hours a week. Learned skills of planogramming, time management and efficiency,  "get the job done" attitude. Management only ever gave motivation rather than advice and really didn't help when I was under pressure. The hardest part was picking up the slack of others who left early or did a poor job. Often resulted in me having to work way past 6pm. The only good thing about working so much and lifting others weight was the high hourly rate.

What is the best part of working at the company?
A people focused business with a good infrastructure to support workers. Good culture and nice people

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Workload and deadlines - very busy 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Nice place to work and great culture

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Full day goes quickly. Only downside is 4 days in office would be better with three

Really good to start with and ones change there manager they have keep changing shifts and places we work overnight, or even cancel the shifts on 5 pm for next day ( this is happened in late December) even they given month ahead of rosters. Management don’t care and for my self, they don’t like to get feedback as well as there culture is against middle age people.

So unorganised - my first day, the instructor was an hour late and spoke to everyone like little kids. Little to no training, just thrown in the deep end..wasted money on proper pants but when I got there the staff all wear tights anyway..had to chase up pay and repeat myself a million times. I was so excited about this job

Lots of stores don’t agree to the work being done therefore you don’t get paid. Lots of running around with nothing to show for it. You get point of sale to your house and end up with a whole room dedicated to huge boxes.

We have a very supportive management team who aim to provide a people focused work environment. I enjoy coming to work and learning new things from different people and working in a cooperative team.
