Working at Next

Anyone else have to withdraw the Sinners tshirt/sweat yesterday?

Apparently a bunch of Christians made a complaint...

Yeah, just found this article about it.. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2200118/Christian-groups-fury-Next-T-shirt-mixes-sex-Bible.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

I laughed

yeah waitrose seems like a more calmer environment (:
good luck !

During the sale period do you have to work more than your contracted hours?

Can you buy jeans as a part of your uniform allowance? And can you wear them for your shifts?!

do you get the option not to work over xmas eve and boxing day?someone got sacked the other day for fnin in ill and then later saying they cnt work one of those days.

Hi there,
I have recently been offered a part-time role as a sales consultant at Next (for the Womenswear department), I went for my induction on Thursday and have my first shift on Wednesday I'm nervous and excited! This will be my second job, after a two and a half year stint at McDonalds. I'm expecting Next to be a completely different working environment to McDonalds and I'm not exactly sure what to expect, can anyone give me any tips or advice? For my first day I'm going to wear pin strip pants, shiny leather boots (wore both of these for my interview) and a black shirt with a leather belt. Do they start you off easy and gradually get you to do more challenging processes? Also any idea how I find the Next Employee Handbook online? The manager gave use the web address for it with a universal username and password but it won't let me access it and I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to have started reading it prior to my first shift! Thank you!!

They will treat you like **** lol. Everyone I know who worked there absolutely hates it.

Whatever hours you signed your contract for, they will ignore and give you whichever hours they want you to work.

Ha yeah you can say that again lol.
I've been put in for a shift this thurs 1-5 and wasn't even asked.
The store managers somtimes put shifts in for no reason. ****ers lol.

If its not your contracted shift you don't have to do it, just let your manager know in advance so they can get someone else in. Most of the time i don't even have to give a reason why, just saying you have other plans is enough. Regarding availability same again, its best to let your manager know in person because they don't appear to pay much attention to availability. As soon as uni finished i let mine know that i'd be staying around all summer and i'd be able to work whenever, and i've already let her know that won't be the case anymore when uni starts again in October.



Yeah, because no other retailer in the country makes their employees do that Must say all the complaints about Next on here suprise me, maybe i've just got lucky in that my store has nice and competent managers.

lol glad there are nice and competent managers somewhere ahaha
