Vantaggi

People at store level are great. Sometimes store incentives are good.

Svantaggi

Essentially the whole experience of working under the management of Head Office has been shocking. They treat all employees like garbage unless you happen to be in the clique, then you get the best treatment. My store was constantly understaffed, leading the employees to get burnt out. We asked for help and resources and were continually ignored. There were months between us asking for resources and then receiving them, while being berated for not completing the tasks we couldn't physically complete BECAUSE we still hadn't received the necessary supplies. HO would constantly change their mind on promotions, making us change them WITH NO NOTICE and then getting annoyed when they weren't set up perfectly by the end of the day. They will not promote you unless you have a connection to someone higher up, even if you are qualified for the job. They promote their friends who are equally unqualified, leading They underpay workers and treat them appallingly. The KPIs are unachievable, and if a store does achieve them, they are shifted higher so they don't have to pay out as much. The whole organisation is essentially run on Google Sheets and Gmail, along with the most outdated POS I've ever seen. You are punished for tiny mistakes which are easy to make, considering the insanely complicated processes you have to use for simple tasks. A new system has been continually promised for the last few months and then never put in. They are incredibly fatphobic, and they originally pulled the curve range because they weren't selling enough of the sizes for them to 'justify' it. The only reason they brought it back was because of the backlash. So many people have quit due to being pushed too far, and people will continue to quit until the whole organisation is fixed.

Vantaggi

The only pros were my team

Svantaggi

Working at Dangerfield was hands down one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made, and leaving was one of the best. My life improved tenfold the moment I walked away. Staff are treated as completely disposable, whether you’re a casual employee or a manager. The expectations are relentless and completely unsustainable. Burnout isn’t an exception, it’s the norm. And despite years of consistent feedback, nothing ever changes. When passionate, talented staff finally reach their breaking point and leave, the company doesn’t reflect or improve. They just bring in someone new who doesn’t know how bad it is. Then the cycle starts all over again. As a manager, there is absolutely no work life balance and you are paid the bare minimum. Head office is beyond disorganised and out of touch, which makes every day unnecessarily stressful. You’re constantly trying to stay on top of an endless, unmanageable influx of stock with little structure or support. It feels chaotic and never ending. On top of that, the stores themselves are often unsafe. Repeated feedback about workplace safety concerns are ignored, yet David Heeney, the CEO, seems more than happy to waste money on things like rolling out gaming gear into stores. When the gaming gear was introduced, it was honestly embarrassing for staff. There was no training provided and no time for staff to figure it out themselves, nor should they have to. People didn’t sign up to sell overpriced keyboards. The clothing itself has also gone downhill with more and more items made from cheap materials like polyester. As for the accessories, most are just repackaged AliExpress products with a heavy markup. It’s hard not to see Dangerfield for what it is now, fast fashion dressed up as something else. It’s honestly grim seeing the reality behind a brand I used to admire when I was younger. If you’re thinking about working at Dangerfield or any brand under Factory X, do yourself a favour and walk away before you get pulled into something that will chew you up and spit you out.
