I'm currently working in a coffee shop and at the body shop. I have just been offered a casual position at reiss and I'm unsure what to do. I am def. looking to leave the body shop cos the hours they want to give me dont work with the uni hours I have when uni goes back. The coffee shop i work at is insanely busy ( i do 50 hours a week) and really stresses me out, but on the upside, i have great, really reasonable management , and they have made it clear they understand uni is my first priority. I also enjoy it most of the time and find the time flies.
the reason i applied for reiss is i thought it would be my 'dream job' however im not sure now. im a bit apprehensive cos the manager made it clear in the interview that i would have to keep buying the new stock all the time. even discounted, this would prove to be really expensive. As a poor uni student I dont feel the need for 200 sass and bide outfits. Other things against it would have to be the boredom factor- they dont seem to get as busy. the pay is also less than the coffee (weird i know). another thing is they are ALWAYS looking for casuals- a sign that it is shit working there?
another thing is it has a 3 month probation period-im worried im leaving a guaranteed job to a 'maybe' job.
does anyone here work at reiss or a similar store and do they like it? how would they compare it to working in a coffee environment? what are the pros and cons?
