Absolute kip

Kip to work in management don't care about staff and is rarely in the shop, colleagues are all snakes and rats, toxic environment and pay is dreadful

Bad pay for very difficult work, and little care for staff

This is a bad employer, with poor infrastructure and always finding ways to not look after staff. Due to low wages, but expecting such high levels of hard work they burn out staff in a short time, leaving most stores short of staff and even continuously having no management leading the teams in stores, then blaming staff for not reaching standers in these situations.

Bad communication

Not enough communication between store Management and HR. Instead of working as a team, focusing on company progress and making it easier, they are arguing with each other. Not helping the Management team to progress as individuals.Easy to progress if you are good and you have a good Management team in-store. A good place to get experience. If you are lucky, you can meet a lot of very good people and enjoy time spend at work with them in-store.

Pros

Roster scheduled how you need if you have a good Manager

Cons

Salary, Head Office

Accommodating but poor training and management

I joined mr price as a summer job whilst in university. Staff were friendly but there was a toxic atmosphere. The training I found to be extremely poor. They expected me to know things I was never told and this had negatively impacted my probation period and my relationship with management. I had only received formal training from management 4 MONTHS INTO MY EMPLOYMENT. As a result of this they failed me on probation and let me and a few others go. They got the busy periods like Christmas and back to school done and were happy to terminate young staff members on probation there after. Extremely poor communication from managementTo end on a positive note regular staff there was lovely and management had always payed on time and were accommodating in regards to college and time off.

Not good

Terrible company to work for. No organization in stores and no communication between store and HQ. Pay under standard minimum wage if you are under 20 and/or it's your first job. Terrible

Productive with Management Support

The manager is very supportive and very patient to educate the new employees. Adequate training is provided. Nice place to work on. The shop location is situated where it is accessible to customers.

Productive

Great place for work experience except your given little to no guidance, for me atleast, I didn’t learn as much as I could’ve, I was left to fend for myself and just walk around store aimlessly only skill I earned was dealing with customers

Poor pay and bad environment

I myself and many of my other colleagues who have since too expressed or unhappiness at being paid up to €3 less an hour than some of our other colleagues. This was not age based to the most part. We were pushed to work just as hard as those making a liveable wage and it was damaging for our mental health we believed. Management were also extremely rude and unhelpful. Was also consistently given way too many hours considering I am in full time education and then was treated poorly by management when I complained on multiple occasions- and I have heard that many people have this complaint. Rostering was consistently incorrect or impossible to attend on days rostered despite continuous complaints.

Bad management

The salary is very poor, the management is also very poor. Big staff turnover. There is an awful lot of favouritism. Heavy lifting involved. Okay for short term

Horrible place to work, wouldn’t recommend

Underpayed staff for the work that gets done. Horrible Area manager and horrible key holder who had to stand in when there was no manager present for a month. Only in it for short term. Company doesn’t care about any staff, to them you are expendable and they can pay anyone else the minimum wage they give. As a person under 18 my wage is so bad 3 euro under the national minimum wage for doing the same work. Would never recommend.

Not perfect, but great employer if you want to progress a career in retail.

The quality of managers and team leaders varies widely. If you're lucky enough to be in a store with an excellent manager, this can be an amazing place to work.Like most of retail, some staff with authority can be petty, especially if they are unskilled or uneducated. I found working with unmotivated and lazy sales assistants tiring - and unfortunately bad managers create bad teams. I had a horrible store manager, but was given the opportunity to work in other stores and with other teams, and I absolutely loved that. The Area Managers (Support Managers) I worked with were all awesome. The company promotes from within, so if you're looking to move up the chain, all you have to do is apply yourself and have an interest, and you can find yourself progressing very fast. This was definitely something I respected about the company.

Pros

Promotion opportunities.

Cons

Working alongside mindless or unmotivated young people.
