For example, I was expected to travel all over Auckland using my own car and I was not given a fuel allowance and could not have my mileage reimbursed. The job itself was reasonably manageable but I did not have all the assets I needed. My role consisted of managing teams on average of 10 people, varying from team sizes of 10 minimum to close to 30+ alone. I was being paid close to minimum-wage in a leadership-based role. The biggest being that the pay for the job I was doing was ridiculous. Overall my time at Cotton On was short-lived due to a few main concerns. It may be just our store/mall can’t really speak for other COG stores around Auckland, although this has been my experience as a part time team member so far. I really wanted to enjoy working for this company as I’ve always been a loyal customer of Cotton On before being employed here, but now seeing what the company is like behind closed doors makes me feel disgusted. Was also sad to see that our COG team does not do anything for their staff for Christmas either, no work do’s or anything. You’re constantly overworked yet don’t get any acknowledgment or praise and expected to always pick up the slack for others. There’ll be many days where there are huge rushes of customers coming in and only 2 workers will be rostered on as they don’t want to pay any more workers to be on. Management is awful and you feel like you can’t talk to anyone, and the people from head office are snobs and never acknowledge your presence when they visit the store. When I first started I wasn’t fully trained at all and was thrown right into the deep end. Whilst working for COG, our store has been understaffed the whole time I’ve been here and there have been times where I’ll have to work 6/7 days straight (I’m only a part timer).
