Not a Supportive Company - werkgeversreview Store Manager bij Taking Shape

Really good home & worklife balance! Pays better than minimum wage and the ladies who work here are so super lovely!!

High margins to meet, but other than that, no complaints!

Some very lovely customers and met lots of nice people - from other brands within MYER.

The area manager was a toxic, narcissistic bully. When I reported this to HR, I was sent to EAP (therapy) to rethink how I could approach situations with her... When I asked to take annual leave (5 months in a row) it was never a good time, and I was constantly told no - but others were allowed to go. Favouritism is rampant and filters down all the way from head office. It was very clear that nothing I ever did was ever going to be good enough - that included when I got the store to top performing store in the company for the first quarter, and then have it one the last stores in the whole company to still be consistently meeting and exceeding budget... So do not ever go above and beyond, because they won't appreciate it and to them you're just a number.
