Clarks Employer Reviews

I worked at clarks when it was snowing, so the day was slow and dragged a bit. I learned how to use the till and how to organise shoes into alphabetical order. The management was great and organised and my co-workers were friendly and approachable which made it very easy to talk to them. The hardest part of the job is sort the shoes out and trying to – more... find where abouts they go. The most enjoyable part was serving the customers. – less

A typical day at work would mainly consist of dealing with complaints, fitting shoes and measuring infants/children's feet, delivery taking, ordering for customers, cleaning and stocking the shelves and at the end of the day I would have to E-mail the area manager with the takings for that day. I learnt a lot working Clarks, such as how well shoe's – more... fit and what there like when they don't fit and I gained a lot of confidence with talking face to face and via the telephone with customers. The hardest part of the job I would have to say was when the shop got very busy and customers and children would start to get restless it was very hard keeping everyone happy at the same time but it was worth it. The most enjoyable part of the job would be doing the 'First Shoe Experience' with customers for instance, a customer would come in with their child wanting to get their son/daughters first pair of shoes and the experience would include a size card with a bit of paper with the date and the size of their feet and picture of their child in their first pair of shoes put into a card and it was always rewarding seeing how happy the customers were when they left. – less

A typical day at work would often be very busy and fast running, but I learned to cope well under pressure and now understand the needs of the customers.

i worked at clarks for my work experience. it was a very calm and nice place to work. it wasn't a tiring job, it is and enjoyable workplace.

I was head of the mens department and taking care of new styles within the company. My experience and skills was mainly within technology used in the new selected lines of styles, and visal merchandising, by ensuring our customers had the best shopping experience from our store. My duties involved trainning stm with product knowledge, tills,discounts,refunds/exchange, – more... and foreign currency. The most hardest part of the job is making sure every style is in the correct place in the displays, as different technology is used in each area of the shoes and remembering all shoe names. The most enjoyable part of my job is learning new skills from different personalities, and working as a team to reach company standards. – less

greeting customers, putting daily stock away, serving customers, cleaning, organising new stock. I enjoyed working with all my colleagues. back to school was demanding and sometimes ustomers would get very angry with you when it was a long waiting time.

My shift at clarks starts with a very happy hello from management,and sincere questions about how i am .
Management tell me about what is on offer that day,and what daily targets we are to try and meet .
Co workers are very friendly and helpful ,and all enjoy their work.
I am usually positioned on the childrens section,as i am fully trained , and enjoy – more... working with families. It can get very busy,but each customer receives the same amount of time and commitment from all of the staff. The most enjoyable part of the job is when i have helped someone find exactly what they are looking for,and they go away happy. I am always praised by management for all i have done that day,as is every member of staff. – less

Clarks is a very sales driven company. The staff are highly motivated and always provide a high quality service to consumers who shop at Clarks.

Having been in this post for around 7 months, I have learnt a great deal. From daily tasks, such as: cash reconciliations; start of day processes through to learning how to manage a team.

The management has provided me with a great deal of opportunity to learn about the company, but also a lot of opportunity to learn about how best to get the best – more... out people. Which I will endeavour to carry into any new positions I embark on.

I thoroughly enjoy training the Sales Team Members in order for them to achieve their targets both as individuals and as part of a team. This what I find most rewarding in my current job role. – less

It is excellent to work at Clarks. Manager and team leaders are amazing and easy to get along with. They constantly help you to learn new things and are not afraid to help you out.The store runs very well even during very busy periods and the co-workers are never far to help you out.

On my second day at work I learnt about shoe technology. The different types of shoes and how to provide customers with what they want and where to find the shoes. The management and co-workers were really helpful by giving me a hand whenever I needed it. A vivid challenge of the job was getting products (shoes) from the stock room to the sales floor – more... as there are no lifts for ease of movement and we all have to run down 2 floors to get products while avoiding keeping customers waiting.
Memorable parts of the job was meeting people (customers), making them comfortable and assisting in their shopping, Another is meeting my targets because I like challenges and I always strive to exceed my daily target by convincing customers to buy lots of products including the ones they didn't plan to buy. – less

A very good and enjoyable place to work, lovely collegues and customers.

During a typical day, I would be responsible for approaching and advising customers on which products are right for them. I would ask about their needs and the occasion they need the shoes for, and using this knowledge, I would help them choose the appropriate footwear. I would also be responsible for keeping the shop floor, and the shelf displays clean – more... and tidy at all times, I would sweep the floor and dust the shelves, and would also re-stock shelf displays.

My co-workers, and managers were always helpful in advising me on the best way to confidently approach and talk to customers. My managers also gave me sales training, and helped me to expand my product knowledge in order to do my job more efficiently.

The hardest part of this job was meeting my multi-sale targets, as it was a lot more tricky than single sales, but this was also the most challenging and rewarding, knowing that I had done my job well, and customers would leave the store satisfied with their purchases, and the service that I had given them was the most rewarding part of this job.

During my time working at Clarks, I learned many valuable skills, skills such as; confidently engaging in conversation with customers in a non-business like manner, promoting products and special offers, and general people skills, all of which I believe will help me to become a valuable part of the team in any retail or customer service environment. – less

good place to work in , busy, friendly employees and customers, cominginto contact with many differenttype of people

The routine is pretty solid but there's always different tasks to do which make the job interesting and varied. It's always nice to get a compliment from a customer about the service. You certainly have to be a team player to get on in this job to make the day flow smoothly.

Typical day involved me communicating with customers, managing a team of workers, organisation of the shop floor and confident selling to the customer.
I have meet many nice people through out the time I have worked at Clarks, they have helped me develop in the working world.

Hardest part was to learn how to balance my education and work at the same – more... time. Due to me having a job at seventeen helped me mature quicker and handle my money and time more efficiently.

Most enjoyable part is selling to the customer. As each customer is different it takes certain skills to convey the information successively to persuade them to buy the product. – less

It's a rewarding job, and I'd like to learn more about management.

Fitting children's shoes
Customer interaction
meet and greet.
Making a sale.
Giving the benefits of the purchase.

i love working at clarks the job security is very high which is what i like about the company.

Maybe a first ever shoe, school shoe, shoe or bag for a party, slippers, mature customers, babies who do not want their feet measured. i do enjoy the job, but feel as I have been out there working overseas for many years that I still hold a passion for a more challenging role which I can make a difference in somebodys life.
