    What’s it like working at Adairs?

    AI summary of recent reviews
    Employees enjoy working with quality products and beautiful homewares at Adairs, alongside supportive colleagues who work hard and form great friendships. The employee discount, training through Adairs Academy, and incentives for meeting KPIs are valued benefits of working at the company.

    However, there are some potential challenges, including demanding workloads particularly during peak seasons with high stock volumes, challenging sales targets and KPIs that may not always align with shift patterns, and a competitive environment focused on individual budgets. Some employees have noted that management approaches vary across stores, work/life balance can be difficult during busy periods, and career progression opportunities may be limited.

    Don’t be scammed into thinking this is a good place to work, it’s honestly the most toxic company
    The good thingsStaff members and customers
    The challengesWhere to start… Ah yes, do not work for this company. Management is a joke, doesn’t do her job and will make your life miserable if you don’t do everything she wants, (aka do her job for her without the pay.) Incredibly unprofessional and moody. If that’s not bad enough the area manager is a master mind at hiding her problems, she would rather keep bad managers in their positions but is happy to be little you and treat you like trash because you aren’t saying yes to all of their selfish needs. You will get no communication from management to answer any questions you may have but they will call to remind you of how you’ve wronged them. Honestly the most toxic management system. All other staff members are lovely and supportive but management is selfish, greedy and unprofessional, don’t expect any thanks for any hard work you’ve done. Pay doesn’t equivalent to what the “job” demands from you, long work hours and no support or wiggle room to help with work/life balance.

    could have been great
    The good thingsthe customers and staff
    The challengesThe manager is on a power trip and causes unnecessary stress; she doesn't adequately train new staff unless she likes them and sets staff up to fail in very sneaky ways and humiliates them in front of customers
