can anyone tell me the hourly rate for M&S and Next? (outside London)

[toomuchtodo]

am thinking of applying for sales assistant, does anyone know the hourly rate for any retailer?

eg. who pays the best?

I'm not sure about the hourly rates but its also worth looking at discounts and perks at different places as they vary massively.

I was talking to a lovely guy who works in Gap the other day (DP was trying on loads of trousers and stuff ) -he said in Gap they get 50% off(I think?)plus they get monthly vouchers for extra discounts and freebies.

In comparison he said that at some sports shop chain (JJB?) you only get a pathetic 10% off and thats only on full price items.

thats a good point

I thought I'd start at the hourly rate and then look further

anyone else?

ring htem and ask themn

do you think they'd tell me over the phone?

looking on Retailmoves £5.50-6.50 ph seems to be the rate quoted for Sales Advisors depending on level , you might get more for experience or in a city/regional shopping centre. Benefits would be on top (uniform , discount, profit share(JL/ Waitrose score highly for that), pension and so on)

again not sure about hourly rates, but O'Neil staff get a huge discount, something like 75% if not more.

Do they have to wear it as uniform, may only apply to so many outfits if so ?

I worked for next and about £6 an hour, but i was a merit level and sunday floor manager so not just started. Discount wise (this is pretty standard for most places) you get 25% off everything except uniform, uniform you get 75% but on a certain value. eg if you worked full time it was about £300 worth of clothing that you had 75% but then you had to wear these clothes at work. I have also worked for Arcadia group- Walis, DP, miss self, topshop etc and it was the same rules, howver the discount card was a store card and you got the bill every month. Next did discount at Point of Sale. Feel free to ask me anything else!
