Pros
Meeting some great colleagues who i now call friends (who have all since moved on from this horrific company).
Cons
- The UK head office for The Kooples is severely inept at their jobs, no professionalism or appreciation for workers who put a lot of effort into their job. Once they have decided they no longer like you for little to no reason whatsoever, you are on borrowed time while they try to come up with a way to get rid of you or push you out. This isn’t just from personal experience but also various colleagues i worked with in different stores had the same negative experiences with head office and knew they had little time left. - I am still yet to meet a single colleague at this company who had a single positive thing to say, everyone is desperately searching for another job to get away from the power hungry management and HR that plagues this company like a disease. - There is no solid hierarchy of communication between levels of employees and head office, meaning they will never directly speak to you face to face about issues but rather through several people first and this can be other employees. I have had the London area manager speak to me negatively about other employees’ personalities as well as trying to get me to say negative things about others as an excuse to get rid of them . This behaviour is extremely unprofessional.
