Quiksilver Employer Reviews

Quiksilver was one of the greatest and most fun jobs I've had thus far. It was an awesome environment, always a fun day.

good place to work for but lacks room for advancement and for raises,

Management is lousy I didn't like working here cause if you wasn't hyperactive as if you had a lot of candy they fire you.

Was an amazing place until new management from Abercombie and Fitch took over. Dep[ends on what store you work at

I was an employee for Quiksilver for 5.5. years just recently for the first time ever I can truly say because, of the new Miami Ditrict Manager/North East Regional Manager it's NOT the same. Quiksilver values: Do not lie, cheat, steel do not apply to the upper managment (or at lease thats they think.) They have money signs in their eye's, talk up a – more... great talk, but when it's time to deliver they don't. They will offer you great offers that in their mind "nobody turns down" but unless you get it in writting DO NOT TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT.The culture of "Aloha" is gone...job security gone..work/life...gone (unless you enjoy working around the clock even on 40hr pay emails,phone calls,txts.) There is no great traning programs you kind of figure things out as you go. The district manager is aware of this but, instead of coming up with one or providing coaching skills himself he thinks it's easier to get "fresh people in the game instead of keeping the old, so they don't know the Quik ways." The company has turned in to "Abercombie" but with much better customer service skills, he will tell you "Abercombie has better customer service then us." ( Dude what company are you working for?) To get hired you have to be "Eye Kandy" if not you don't have a shot getting on board. He doesn't visit offten, nor is he out on the sales floor when he does but about a whole 10 min (if your lucky.)Coming from a small town that has values, and honestly, I didn't understand when I was moving (because of a job transfer at Quiksilver) people told me South Florida is a sunny place for shady people... I understand that say'in now more than ever and want to passit on to anyone applying. (Good luck you will be strung along to the words "I see alot of potential","I see big oppertunities for you.") – less

tons of benefits, great people, independent work environment,

A typical day at work i would sign into my computer check my emails and do the list of tasks of assignments giving to me that day. Typically i had 3 to 4 things to do. I learned how large events are ran and all the work and people that go into it. I also sharpened my skills in excel since most of the work i did was in Excel. The Hardest part if the – more... job wasn't actually the job itself because i liked it a lot it was not being able to see the events I worked on. The most enjoyable part of the job was the overall atmosphere in the workplace. – less

Fun and engaging workplace. No solid structure for advancement. Job security can be iffy.

I have enjoyed working for Quiksilver but management needs to focus more on being managers rather than being the employees friends. They need to hire people with stronger working skills.

a typical day at work for me is to pretty much greet and help every person that walks through the door. i learned how to engage customers and figure out how to help them. I really like my co-workers they all turned into friends! The hardest thing about my job is to helping every customer when the store is buys. The most enjoyable part of my job is when – more... i help a customer and they tell me that i been a lot of help and thank me. – less

Assisted collegue with opening the store.
Keeping an eye on the customers to prevent fraud.
Co workers were helpful.
Dealing with rude customers.
Getting to know customers having enjoyable conversations.

Delivered packages throughout atlanta to many different locations.Learned the different businesses and their locations was a plus.Management wasn't employee friendly and didn't pay to well considering we had to use our own transportation and pay all expenses (fuel & vehicle repairs).Co-workers were very helpful, The hardest part of the job was the long – more... hours 14 hr days. Being a private contractor you got paid per delivery and they payed you what they felt like paying you for that delivery which was below half agreed amount you also sat around in your car alot which ment not making expected pay for week.The enjoyable part of the job was meeting the many different clients throughout my work day.Also being out in the public. – less

The most enjoyable part of my job was working with various departments.

Amazing people to work with everyday, great workers, i loved making catalogs, working with customers and helping them with any new situation.

I loved my job. We maintained excellence with four people in seven man environment. I was ushered into the Supervisor world of retail in a quick and hands on manner.

Passionate people with a purpose. Had great opportunity for hands on experience. Learned a lot that will assist me in the future.

Quiksilver has been o e of the most enjoyable jobs I've had in my past 10+ years in retail! Highly recommended, especially in California!

Staff was a lot of fun I learned basically all I feel I need to know to be able to sell anything from. A snowboard in the summer to a tank top in the winter.

I loved this job. the pay was okay but i was happy. what i learned was the value of friendship and commitment to your company.

Show up and work with a smile on you face that was the motto.
They give you the opportunity to learn new things if you were interested. I would drive a forklift helping stockers with their orders, helping them bringing down pallets.

I learn how to operate a stand up forklift, cherry picker and pallet jack.

The management was great they would reward – more... you for your hard work every quarter semester.

The hardest part was working late night.

The best part was working along side the best employes I've ever met and the company party's every year. – less
