Flair-Rugs

At Flair no two days are the same and there are always fresh challenges to keep you occupied in an overgrowing market sector. 
I have progressed during my time with Flair which has also enabled personal growth and given me to tool-set to deal with many situations. 

The management has always been firm but fair in my experience, having both the best interests of the business in mind, but always approachable when needed. 

The workplace culture is what you make of it. I have gained some friends for life and always have a laugh while at work. 

The most difficult part of the job is the working hours and the unpredictability of what your working day will throw at you. In an ironic twist, the thing that stops the job from becoming repetitive and boring, also adds the greatest pressure. 

The most enjoyable part of the role are the people I work with. I have had the opportunity to work with people from all walks of life and that in itself has been a tremendous learning experience for me. 

* staff doing same job great and very supportive 
* management unsupportive 
* set up to fail - 
* Constantly put down 
* Area to cover far to big and unrealistic meaning could not give each store the time needed 
* promoted as being ur own boss and not being micromanaged when in fact it was the opposite. 
* equipment provided 2nd hand and outdated
* Trainer too busy and over stretched and making mistakes and not able to accept errors.
* Trainer very loud and open about individual colleagues and their private times with other colleagues. 
* Never given a fair chance to show what I can do before given the push with no notice.
* They planned my departure in advance of a meeting with me where no decision should have been made. Train tickets to send me home though had been ordered and paid for the week before. Disgraceful! 

It’s a demanding job at Flair but the benefits are worth it. I no longer work for them but would recommend them to anyone. They are a constantly evolving business and I no longer work there due to the changes to my department but there are no hard feelings and I wouldn’t change my time with them. I’m happy in my current role and would never want to return to Flair, I never look back but if you’re considering a career with them then go for it. They have an amazing product and you will be proud of what you do. The benefits are great but unfortunately for me, I judge my current company by their standards and that’s a bit unfair of me. 

Shifts with very little flexibility for the majority (you'll find certain people get more flexibility than others).
Warehouse planning is non existent and expectations are unrealistic.
Progression is *possible* but fron my experience the goal posts move and is usually left to how a certain manager feels about you.
Flair do provide good training and rarely throw you straight in without any guidance.
Good benefits package with medicash and work events.
A great bunch of people to work with and for spoilt by one or two but the majority are great.

I worked within the retail support team for almost two years. I was welcomed by the team and the managers, although very different, clearly cared about their staff. Went through alot of change there and was 100% supported. I left due to the dominance of a large retailer that they served and poor management from above. If these were not present I would still be there. We had a close knit team who helped each other out. Still miss the team. It was only outside of our team that problems arose. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Friendly atmosphere and always opportunities to progress further down the line. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
None really nothing is stressful if you listen and learn properly 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good clean environment compared to other warehouse. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Always busy which is a good thing. Picking for customers orders l, restocking and doing containers

Does have some great people working there and good product but spoiled by poor leadership, lack of respect, lack of organisation, lack of investment into people and working environment. Warehouse staff especially are treated very poorly and are very quick to fire people. Hard to believe they have been going as long as they have as they do not have proper processes set up in any area of the business.

A really fast paced company with lots going on and big ambitions.  They are making massive investments in refurbishing the offices.  My manager genuinely cares about me as a person and is very supportive.  Lots of room for development and growth if you want to make the most of it, the company recognises talent and likes to promote from within.  High performance is recognised and valued.  

This company does not care about its employees. They just want to get as much out of you as possible and will work you into the ground. They have lost a lot of good people because their only interest is the bottom line and not the health and wellbeing of their employees. There are some great people there but the management is terrible. Putting extra hours in without extra pay is the expected and don't expect a work life balance.

Being of an age where I have worked for more than one company, I have to say the training program provided by the Retail Sales Team at Flair Rugs has been truly fantastic. It takes me back to the late 80’s early 90’s where initial introduction training was a fundamental aspect of any business . Sadly this has been diluted by many companies over the years with the attitude you will pick it up as you go along but not at Flair!
