Innovative Generous Employer - Customer Stylist IOLLA Employee Review

I worked as a temp at IOLLA and really enjoyed my time there. I am self employed but wanted to join this great team temporarily as have missed working in retail. the company is great, the full training is very clear and detail buyt you also get lots of support and help. I felt very welcomed and encouraged at all times. Would definitely recommend, especially the location I was at in Manchester.

I didn't see any to be honest! but there is a lot of knowledge to absorb so not everybody.

Free glasses and good discount (50%, 25% for friends and family); truly kind, uplifting team in the showroom; well paced training; reasonable expectations of work (e.g. no unfair sales targets or commission, nobody expects you to remember 100% of optical training, lots of help) Customers are great and lots of good chat that makes the day go fast.

I wanted a minimum hours contract to balance with my other job, but the contract terms could be brutal (if they chose to take advantage of them) for someone looking for something more stable. If you wanted to climb the ladder from showroom to the office it would probably be a really long shot, but that’s true of retail in general.
