    No two days are the same.
    The good thingsDiscounted clothing for staff, above award wages, opportunities offered… Meeting and getting to know customers and assisting them with fashion choices that suit them, for events, travel or every day wear.
    The challengesBetter storage area!!! Especially where I worked.. a lot of twisting, lifting heavy boxes down from shelves and climbing ladders to access excess stock. Workplace injury in the making!

    Step up for a fun challenge
    The good thingsThe individual boutiques have a very nice format and the merchandising support is excellent. Having a kitchen and store area is great and there’s plenty of support including daily/weekly/monthly structure from the Area Managers and support staff in HO. Boutiques have a more personalised experience with the customers. The fashion parades and sales events are always busy and loads of fun so plenty of variation in the day to day. The clothes are great to wear and customers love seeing new on you.
    The challengesAdditional support in staff management and security measures.
