What New Look employees say about their job

  • Best thing

    Nice team with variety of ages

    Worst thing

    We have strict targets to meet and if we don’t meet them for 3 weeks in a row pay is deductible. Also my Dayforce was locked out because HR didn’t change my contract and none of my managers fixed it for about a month

    1.5

    Sales advisor at New Look, February 2025

  • Best thing

    it's quite an easy job. when there's no sale to launch or anything, all you have to do is tidy the shop and serve people. it's helped with my confidence as you're speaking to new people everyday

    Worst thing

    days of sick are denied if you can't find cover. if no one can cover then you have to go in. the hours also aren't great

    Litterally nothing I work to the bone and get minimum wage

    Minimum wage despite douing the same job as others who get nearly double

    8.4

    Store assistant at New Look, October 2024

  • Best thing

    The team are honestly the best. Everyone is so friendly and we all get along like a house on fire

    Worst thing

    Not many, maybe the opportunity for sales advisors to do more jobs like management team is limited.

    5.0

    Sales advisor at New Look, April 2024

  • Best thing

    In my branch at least all my colleagues (except for the store manager) are really nice and friendly.

    Worst thing

    The store manager is out of touch with the reality for employees. Also head office refuse to fix broken services (the lift, the Aircon) for months, even though they're essential for working. If you have additional skills (I have been trained to do cash up and am the main person who does it) you don't get additional pay or other benefits.

    3.7

    Sales advisor at New Look, July 2023

  • Best thing

    The best things are the discount and my coworkers.

    Worst thing

    If the rules change I barely get told anything, paying for parking, 6 hour shifts without break, expected to do the impossible, the job itself is draining and effects your mental health. I really don't feel comfortable talking to my manager and it's just tedious.

    4.9

    Sales advisor at New Look, May 2023

  • Best thing

    fun environment and fast paced

    Worst thing

    not enough store visits from hr, store is in bad condition needs refurb, targets and kpis unrealistic for the size of our store

    3.9

    Sales advisor at New Look, December 2022

  • Best thing

    Staff discount

    Worst thing

    No protection from the weekly abuse from customers who treat you as if you are stupid and deserve it for working a minimum wage job. Constantly put down for 6 hour shifts so you don’t get a break and it is sometimes through lunch such as 10-4 which is very hard on the body. Pay is so bad that you know they would go lower if it was legal.

    5.0

    Sales advisor at New Look, August 2022

  • Best thing

    the people! its a very social-able place and the work realistically isnt hard

    Worst thing

    alot of pressure. Sometimes it feels like ur working the hardest. Also rota's are up and down and hours are unreliable. Always feel anxious about calling in sick

    4.1

    Sales assistant at New Look, August 2022

  • Best thing

    The team the product the store and the atmosphere

    Worst thing

    Too many promotions at the same time too much workload when unnecessary at times.
