Pros

- Great people to work with in-store - Immediate line managers are generally fantastic and highly understanding of personal situations - Generous uniform allowance & discount

Cons

- Poor head office and upper management relationships with store workers - Awful pay when compared to similar brands - A disregard for the needs of the lowest paid - Rash sweeping decisions made with no reasoning or explanation - Certain stores almost feel forgotten about, and are almost always at the bottom of the priority list for head office - Unrealistic company 'values' that don't mean anything and are just corporate jargon - HR strongly implying that we all write highly favourable reviews (note that a lot of the reviews have the words 'passionate' 'authentic' & 'innovative'?)

Dear Ex Employee Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I see that you had a positive experience working with our people in Store, I am sorry that you feel this way regarding some points. We are striving to become competitive with our pay and in October 2015 we decided to award our employees the living wage instead of the national minimum wage. The HR Department alerted to all our employees the benefit of using Glass door and we asked our people to put on their own, honest reviews which they have. For candidates who are interested in working at GANT they get honest and truthful reviews from current, ex employees and we see this very in line with our values of being authentic.

Pros

Free-ish clothing. Have some nice suits after working there.

Cons

Mindnumbingly boring - they don't prioritise giving staff meaningful tasks. Too focused on numbers without providing adequate training or staff on floor to achieve it. Watch out for your payslips. I was severely underpaid for a long period before it was fixed.

Pros

Generous Uniform allowance also a con

Cons

Generous Uniform allowance but do you really wanna wear their clothes? Upper management micro management staff and bombard you with pointless information that they call training. Gant Academy is the most worthless piece of garbage, I’ve ever heard of and that’s why they are where they are. They don’t know how to train their staff and that’s why they are miles behind their competitors. Operations are the least streamline I have ever encountered in a company and the company care far more about ticking boxes than understanding their customers.
