It is a small store, so therefore you gain a lot of retail and customer service experience in a range of areas.
Pros
The pros of working in Promod are that you get a free uniform after each stock take, and the number of items that you can get for free depends on the duration of time you have spent working in the shop. The job is not difficult, most of the customers are quite nice and are happy to take your advice on outfit choices and sizes. It is a small store so you can move up the ladder of responsibility quite quickly. You can usually get time off when you need to. Management is friendly and helpful.
Cons
The Irish store has to answer to the French head office. This can be quite frustrating when you have to ring France for authorisation or approval on certain aspects of merchandising and store promotions. There can be problems with stock control, the French office sometimes send too much of one item that is not selling well. The store is a franchise, so sometimes the wants and needs of the franchise owners and of Promod contradict one another. It takes a long time to get a salary increase.
