Sales Assistant (Former Employee) – Cork – 13 March 2018
Lack of communication between head office and stores =. mixed messages given. High expectations from staff but not much co operation from the higher level management
gen op (Current Employee) – Robin Hood – 3 June 2018
For a company that prides itself on having values, i can tell you as a current employee they have none apart from making money at all costs. Atmosphere in the Robin hood branch is toxic and bad for mental health due to the constant pressure put on employees by the morons in charge. Lack of information and the complete lack of respect for the workforce and the fact that they are people as well as employees make this by far the worst place i have ever had the misfortune to work in. The only plus is going home and holidays. Avoid.
Gen op (Current Employee) – Robinhood – 4 February 2018
No chance to progress your career. No chance of a life at home because of the hours. 99% of managers are idiots and the executives are even worse. Genuinely the worst place I have the displeasure to work in. Cannot wait to be gone.

Warehouse Operator (Former Employee) – Dublin – 10 January 2017
I have worked with many kinds of people and I found it easy to communicate and co-operate with them. I am very familiar with working to tight deadlines in my previous roles that was a key demand.
Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) – Dublin – 9 January 2017
Unorganized. Only statistic are important, not workers. If you have stats you are good worker, if no you are not. If you see something broken or that is not made correct and you fix or report you will lose time and managers will pressure you about your stats. And stats are unrealistic, nobody can achieve them if he follows health and safety procedure. It is very sad place to work and going there is painful for mental health.
Pros
it pays
Cons
bad managers, bad working atmosphere, workers are just numbers

Stock Replenishment/Customer Service (Former Employee) – WD – 15 June 2015
A day working here was demanding and goal orientated. I learned very good customer service and communication skills. Most enjoyable part of the job was helping people.
Picker/Warehouse operative/CA (Current Employee) – Clondalkin, D – 29 April 2015
A typical day at work - Quite a repetitive job it must be said, assembling orders for customers packing the stock into Pallets/cages and effectively preparing the cargo for exportation.
What I have learned is that a lot of hard work goes into the process and segregation of huge quantities of stock.
I have learned a lot from my time in Musgrave. Identifying the backbone of a business and gathering a better understanding of how a company should be managed.
I feel I have very good product knowledge. Experience I gained from previous jobs such as B&Q and Musgrave. From my time in Musgrave I have learned more about myself and what specifics interests me the most. I am interested in the packaging aspect of the huge variety of products I have had to deal with on a regular basis. The Design of the packaging and process of manufacturing.
I personally think it is good to keep up to date with product knowledge considering my field of study Product Design / Industrial Design. I enjoy watching an idea grow whether it is a new flavour of Pringles or a Guava flavoured energy drink. Seeing first hand the marketing techniques used and the effectiveness of product promotion.
So its obvious to see I have a keen interest in Product Development whether it Sales or Design. I believe from my time in College/Work I have obtained the necessary/relevant skills to help me find a role better suited to my abilities in this specific sector. Something that I hope will benefit me in my future career.
