Avis des employés pour Urban Outfitters - Calgary, AB

I wanted to rate this a 2.5 but i couldn't. The people you work with are fun and bubbly but the management is terrible. My first shift was on boxing day and i had no prior training or run down of how to do things. I was lost and didnt know what to do on ny first shift. Although the great employees that worked there took me under their wing and showed me the ways and made my first day better. A typical day is very boring and is a drag. Noone steps foot into the store. And i found myself messing up perfect piles of clothes just to keep myself occupied. Management would cut my hours at times because they didnt have "enough hours" which made sense because of the huge staff that Urban has. The staff is so large that you would be lucky if you got 1 single 8 hour shift. But that wouldnt be a issue if your a part time worker. Instead they would cut your 5hr shift into a 4hr shift. Overall i wouldnt recommend for a permanent position. And instead would recommend a seasonal or part time position.

Great place to work! Amazing coworkers and management but little hours

Sales Associate (Employé actuel) - Calgary, AB - 10 mai 2022

Great place to work and great coworkers however, very little hours since the staff is humungous !!! It’s a great first job/ casual job but it’s definitely not part time and definitely not the best if you want to make a lot of money

Points positifs

Good discounts

Points négatifs

No hours

poor management and very stressful, cool coworkers but you arent allowed to talk to them because they prioritize sales rather than employee welfare. its a horrible company

Alright

Sales Associate (Employé actuel) - Calgary, AB - 15 juin 2017

I don't have many things to say about UO. The management at my location is bias.They pick favourites, and then let the others have the lesser jobs. Not very organized.

Points positifs

Co-workers are amazing

Points négatifs

Not enough hours

Difficult, but not the worst retail job in the world

'Specialist' (Glorified Sales Associate) (Ancien employé) - Calgary, AB - 15 mars 2017

The vibe and the people were great and we did some awesome events and they always had stuff going on for employees to submit to, but then we got a new store manager who immediately culled the people who didn't fit his standard and had worked there for literal years and rehired multiple new employees. I worked really hard for this store because I liked it and it was a steady job with what seemed like opportunities, but still got fired ('let go') with no warning or chances to improve. Others did as well, so hopefully this doesn't come across as a salty employee trying to get back. The job itself was fun, with a bit of pressure to sell and get people to sign up for the rewards program, but nothing unreasonable. The people you work with really feel like your friends and it's fun to go to work. The associate's job is mostly cleaning and keeping an eye out for shoplifters, but back stock is really great if you can handle it. It can be a bit stressful with all the shipments coming in at once and nowhere to put it all. I mostly did restock and organizing the front end, which is fast paced and kind of boring sometimes, but not complicated. If you're looking at this specific location be very careful of management. There's a lot more drama going on than it seems and a lot of factors against you if you're outside their inner circle. I want to say that it's a great job if you do your work and keep your head down, but that didn't even work for a lot of the people who got let go including me. The Christmas season barely met any goals at all too, and by the time I left things -

Points positifs

Fun events, great employee culture, decent discounts

Points négatifs

Managers

Amazing vibe, amazing people

Sales Associate (Ancien employé) - Calgary - 17 août 2015

Working for Urban Outfitters in Calgary was one of the best experiences I've had at any job. Everyone worked together well, and were extremely nice. Urban Outfitters encourages the idea of Peers Teaching Peers which allowed an open and professional communication line between the managers, team leaders, and sales associate.
