Jos. A. Bank Clothiers Employer Reviews

Assisting clients with their purchases. Learn good communication skills.Hardest part of the job was the slow pace. Enjoyed my co-workers the most.

I was always productive. In retail there is never any down time. Always Merchandising, selling on the floor and paperwork to do.
I had a great staff. The hardest part of this job was taking over a store that was on a watchlist and had employee issues.

The best part was being able to turn the store and staff around to getting the watchlist by increasing – more...  sales 21% and changing the staffs attitude by excelling in customer service. – less

Must have time management skills
Can have a lot of fun at work
Customers can sometimes be tough to deal with
Learned a lot about clothing that I didn't know

after 5 and half years of success let go for all the wrong reasons

I worked here for almost a year and had a few incidences where i had been told one thing but then when it came down to it the rules changed. For example I had been told for this almost year if I didnt make two months in a row I would get written up but I wound up missing one month and was written up. Also when I had been physically pushed by another – more...  coworker my regional manager took only my coworkers side (she said i threatened her) and decided to write me up. I believe that is very unproffesional for any comp[any and especially one that is nation. – less

Loved what I did and the clients. Sold mens clothing to professionals in community. Learned sales techniques and product knowledge. Management erratic either top down or apathetic. Coworkers depended on individuals. Very diverse group. Hardest part of job was dealing with small store dynamics. Most enjoyable part was serving customers.

A great place to find men's clothing at a reasonable price. The hours can be long with few if ever weekends off. Compensation depends on sales and productivity. Great customers, but not a well managed company. They concentrate more on the bottom line and less on the morale of their employees. Can make for a difficult work environment

The pay's good (for retail) and the benefits are adequate but employees are viewed as a necessary evil. The turnover particularly among management is astounding. In a meeting of 12 managers there wasn't 20 years worth of experience working at Jos. A. Bank. Their sales philosophy is driven entirely by marketing and demonstrates an utter lack of faith – more...  in their work force. – less

Truthfully not the worst place to work, however its hard to make enough money with their current commission system.
You basically have to live for Christmas to make your money which sucks because the rest of the time you may not be making enough money. No serious complaints because its not the worst job if you need to work, but economically you can't – more...  plan on staying there. – less
