What is the best part of working at the company?
Store teams are very friendly, product range is nice

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You are paid bare minimum to run the entirety of the store. The pay for the work they ask for is borderline slavery. They are constantly cutting costs, to a point where managers are forced to work alone from Monday until Friday, but still expect the store to be perfectly ran with no room for support, only criticism

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Within your own store team, the culture is very friendly. Once head office are involved that goes out of the window. They make it a mission to not allow for any enjoyment in your role, strictly KPI’s and presentation otherwise they do not care

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
VM, stock accepting/displaying, rosters, cleaning, theft prevention, online order fulfilment, stock transfers, customer service over phone as well as in store. KPI tracking and fulfilment. Team coaching (when they are in)

micro managers who expect you to achieve unreachable kpis 100% of the time.. pride themselves on wanting you to be authentic but actually want you to fit into a certain box.. they will constantly criticise you!! even when you’re only just learning or are doing well. they want you to make sales for them, but not better than them. they have no trust in you being able to do your job regardless of years of experience. very unauthentic company to work for. they also expect you to show up 10mins unpaid before your shift otherwise you’re deemed as late.. music is insanely loud, you will leave with a headache after ever shift. you’re expected to know how to do their specific processes straight away, but at the same time be micromanaged on basic retail.. could be just a poor manager, but stateside put them in that position.. 

I enjoyed my time with stateside, especially when I first joined. Everyone was friendly and nice. However, I did have a few issues while working with the company. Personally, it feels as if they are focused only on you making money for the company, always pushing us to ensure customers buy 2+ items. Head Office would regularly come in and watch us, pushing us to constantly speak to customers (whether they wanted to or not), and try get them to buy more items. In addition to this, it felt like you only got hours, if you were a good sales person, who could push customers to buy items, even if that meant other jobs, like banking, online orders, or recovery was neglected. This led to lots of catching up in jobs, when workers who would complete these jobs, came on for work. Overall, Stateside is a good company, but is focused mainly on making money, and pushing us to make customers buy.

They make you do more work than you're actually paid for, expecting you to do everything when you're literally just a casual.
Head office is a constant annoyance, expecting unrealistic goals to be met, not to mention the online order department.
Company is more focused on quantity over quality, trying to push for as many stores to be open as possible without setting them up to succeed in the first place.


Only good thing is the customers and the staff that work within your own store. Anyone higher than store manager is super annoying and unsupportive. 

The team you work with in-store are enjoyable to work with, and culture with them is usually good. However upper management is where often the problems stem from. There is far too much turn over at head office, often friends and/or staff that are only stooges will get promoted, many getting it way too early and then you’re regularly expected to pick up the slack for them. 

The in store team can be great depending on your store - management are told to be pushy with add-ons and boderline annoy customers. However, Head office is totally out of sync with their stores and often leave staff, managers and more feeling undervalued and unwanted in the business. Long term loyal employees often being treated like a number and not an actual person in the business.

love working here so much , especially in the busier times when everyone’s working together. your team very quickly become your family & you learn to push each other and yourselves in a healthy way to reach company standards. the stores always a vibe even when it’s quiet & you really get to show off your style !

As a manager, tasks every day are extremely repetitive which can lead to demotivation. During the week, the store can be very quiet, the weekends and Thursday nights are not too bad when there are customers to sell to. Casual workers have it tough as they are barely allocated shifts to work throughout the week. The uniform allowance and discounts are decent. There is also commission if you make a sale above a certain amount, however, this does not happen often.

The place is dope and is a pretty relaxed workplace so long as you stay on top of your tasks for the day. The clothes are dope don't expect big discounts and be prepared to sell hard when there aren't any sales. Work hard bruv.

I only had one bad experience. We really needed a proper manager who had the right training instead of appointing people from the team who weren't ready. It worked out for the interim but the stress levels of the staff shifted.

Too much responsibility for the given position that is not aligned with the salary.  Manager and culture  is great but depends which store you’re working. You need to change the store vm almost everyday. Upper management always pushing employees about the way they wanted you to sell the product.  Enjoyable part of the job when upper management is not on the store
