Glue Store

A typical day at work required continued interaction with customers and ensuring all customers were met with a service of high quality. I have learned a lot since I have been at the company; banking and transactions, great customer and people skills to communicate with a diverse range of people, administrative tasks, managing stock and general maintenance of the store. Management overall has proved to be encouraging and supportive throughout my employment at the company. The hardest part of the job was having to make daily budgets. Conversely, being apart of such a great company and positive and fun workplace culture was by far the most enjoyable part of this job.

Lots of bias from head office with certain teams and favouritism of employees. 
Always hiring externally and for their own benefit and it becomes so unfair for staff who have to prove themselves constantly. 
Staff can be mistreated and degraded, working overtime without recognition...working out of their way most of their time and being unappreciated. Just some to mention. 

Bad environment to work in and lack of support from other stores. Yes, we need to compete with one another but the level of rivalry at this company can reach levels of immaturity.

 At first, it may be a great place but once you work in this toxic environment with so many two-faced people, just seeing how they treat staff....I would not recommend.

Working in the Sydney cbd I was very close to the head office and our store got a lot of visits from them, this was actually good as I felt like I developed close relationships with a lot of the higher ups and always felt comfortable to message them with any concerns or for any help.
This has been the best job I’ve had so far as it was a very relaxed work place as everyone played their part and made the days run smoothly without any stress.
I recommend if you are on a WHV or even from Australia to work for glue (accent group) as they gave me so many opportunities in the small amount of time I was there and can definitely see myself going back to work for them.

Management is poor, starting from the store to corporate. Regionals and SM come and go pretty often. Had three new SM in only one year… 
Care more about sales than crew and don’t value crew who put in effort and time. Currently writing this as i’m still employed and they’re hiring christmas casuals. Will take advantage of people for their own gain and dispose of you. Overall a toxic, unsupportive and unreliable workplace. Although the pay is enticing, not worth the mental strain of higher ups never recognising your efforts, time and abilities. A positive however is that I made some good friends who would also never recommend Glue Store as an employer.

Such a toxic work environment and managers only roster you on if you’re making sales. They will pressure you for sales even if there is no foot traffic which isn’t your fault. Very biased and one-sided from management - favour the people making the most sales and will throw people not making enough sales onto the floor to greet customers and walk around for the whole shift. Unfortunately the worst experience I’ve ever had at a job. Managers also disregard complaints made about them. 

Clear favouritism in hiring. No variety- same people get rostered on week after week leaving others jobless (that is, if you’re casual). Management is a nightmare, literally just employs a random 20 something year old who doesn’t have a clue. Also it’s like never busy and super boring, most shifts being 5+ hours you just end up doing nothing (trust me, that is NOT a good thing). Sales targets are ridiculous considering this place gets no business and expects staff to make sales out of thin air.  Do nottt work here. 

Enjoyed working in a fast phased and friendly environment. For over 5 years of working in customer service, I was able to acquire more knowledge during the past 5 months of working at Glue during the Christmas and holiday season which I very much appreciated. I have acquired knowledge and skills of working in the retail industry and developed great customer services towards visitors of Glue. I am hoping and would love to work back at Glue.

The interview process and communication was not too difficult, the only con was the time it took and chasing shifts. 
You must communicate with your managers as they will not communicate with you. 
Working there is very comfortable and enjoyable as your surrounded by generally like minded people. The freedom to wear casual and comfy yet styling clothing provided by your handy employee discount also makes the experience just that bit more homey and fun.

Glue store claims to be invested in their staff and progression within the company however that is not the case. Glue will almost always hire externally and for those committed staff who wish to progress they must have to prove themselves time and time again in order to get a go. I would not recommend working here as the culture is disgusting and so much additional work/hours expected of staff with no repayments for their efforts.

Hours were extremely short with no room for additional hours. Your shifts and hours were given to you based on how well the management liked you.

Poor management and horrible environment. Team members created a rude environment with bullying present and when brought up to management, no action was taken. Worst retail store I have ever worked in! Would not recommend working for this company.
