The 360 view
This is a great company to work for - very fast paced, high stock volume and a highly seasonal trading environment with the golden quarter being before Christmas when they have to deliver over 50% of their annual sales.
The stores are vibrant and exciting and it’s all about creating a fun and vibrant shopping experience for families and kids. The environment is hard working and challenging, yet great fun with two days never being the same.
It’s a very people focused brand, and great emphasis is placed on ensuring every employee and customer has a positive outlook on the brand, as it’s a very competitive marketplace.
They have a very loyal and stable team who run the business and they offer great career opportunities hand-in-hand with their exciting plans for the future.
