Fashion Q

Personally, I mainly had a good, supportive team (except for the manager), which made all the difference from start to end. Most of the time, work can be pretty slow and repetitive (restocking clothes/shoes/accessories, cash-handling, sweeping, trying to look busy) but also really easy when you get the hang of things. The only time it ever got busy was during holiday season. So if you're the type who prefers bustling, active work, then I'd recommend looking elsewhere. But if you prefer a chill (maybe even boring) job that eases you into retail work, then I recommend working at Q! But keep in mind, the team - management (especially management) and co-workers alike - can either make or break your experience. I highly advise applying for locations that have an assistant manager since if there is one alongside the manager and key holder, then taking a day-off/breaks may be easier. At the store I worked at, there was no assistant manager, which made taking breaks kind of iffy for the employees and also made the key holder at risk of getting their position stripped (or fired for no reason without notice in my case) for not being able to work for a week or so. Also, the pay could be better and the breaks can be pretty short, especially when you have to be on your feet the entire time at work. But again, as long as you're mainly surrounded by good, trustworthy people who you work well with and can learn from, the job can be a positive experience.

In general, Fashion Q was a good experience for me.  I started working there soon after I began my first semester of college, and as it was my very first job, I was nervous. However, while the job required many different tasks to be performed--some more difficult than others--I soon developed a proficiency in my duties. My co-workers were extremely friendly and helpful, answering any questions I had. Everyone did their fair share of work, and did their work well: there were no slackers. My supervisors were also warm and understanding, and worked with me and my co-workers, most of whom were also students, to develop flexible schedules.
At Fashion Q, I learned about the everyday occurrences of a retail environment, from helping a customer find the right size or style of wedding gown, to insuring the store was properly stocked and keeping up the store's appearance. 
The most rewarding, and also most difficult aspect of the job, was working with customers. I gained invaluable experience in learning how to truly listen to my customers needs, limitations, and occasional complaints. And while those issues could sometimes be complex, and the customer could become rude and frustrated, it gave me immense satisfaction to meet their needs and solve whatever problems arose. I developed patience, perseverance, and a strong ability to think creatively, which I hope to bring to my next job.

A typical day at Fashion Q would be fulfilling transfer requests,  preparing merchandise, doing the majority of the transactions, and trying to look busy. I learned to be reliable e.g. opening and closing of the store, and having a Supervisory role, as well as creating complete outfits for customers of all types. As for the management, it was poor and inconsistent. Management played favorites, with staff or store. If they didn't like the girls on their shift, they would leave to a different store location. If you had a question or issue, they'd make you feel stupid or had someone not in a management position to speak At you, not to you. Meaning you didn't get to have a voice. As for the owner at my location, they would make frequent visits, take advantage of your position, or simply did not know what they were doing. The best part of the job, was the rest the employees, they were great. Funny and fun to come to work no matter what shift you had. Expect to make long lasting friends, and after work outings with them. As well as the loyal customers, making outfits and chatting with them helped make your day go by faster. Hardest part of the job was doing transfers, and preparing merchandise.

A typical day at work involves assisting customers with finding outfits, keeping the sales floor organized, restocking merchandise, and maintaining a clean and welcoming environment. I’ve learned how to multitask in a fast-paced setting, communicate effectively with customers, and work as part of a team to meet daily goals. The workplace culture is supportive, energetic, and team-oriented, which makes it easy to stay motivated and positive throughout the day. Everyone works together to ensure customers have a pleasant shopping experience while keeping the store running smoothly. The hardest part of the job is staying focused during busy hours while handling multiple tasks at once, but it has helped me become more organized and confident. The most enjoyable part of the job is helping customers feel confident in their purchases and working alongside a team that shares a passion for fashion and customer service.


Every day is different in this job, depending on what department i am working on. Usually I am working register which requires answering the phone, helping/ringing out customers, and working on new merchandise as well. Through or shift, we are expected to maintain the floor clean and organized by refolding messy garments and putting away clothing that customers did not like. If  I am working mornings, I am responsible for opening the gates, turning on light and music, taking out the trash, and cleaning the fitting room mirrors. If I am working the afternoon till closing shift, my responsibilities besides closing the gates are turning everything off and making sure i leave as little go backs as possible.  In this job I have learned a lot about communicating with others and really listening to their needs. The hardest part of the job is the language barrier. Sometimes it is a bit difficult to understand what my manager needs me to do.

A typical day for me at Fashion Q was to open the store at 9/10 am, have the store cleaned, zoned, and ready for customer to arrive, setup of the Cash register, and put of the time schedule and duties of other employees. Being a Key Holder at Fashion Q taught me a lot of management skills inside the retail business that I had not had the opportunity to explore with previous jobs. When o had started working at Fashion Q, me and a few other girls plus the manager and assistant manager, had just been opening the store, so in a sense we worked in that store from the ground up, and in that way we became a close family which would possibly be the hardest and most enjoyable part of the job. when I got my promotion in December, being a family made it a little hard to be strict when some where not doing the job asked of them, but at the end of the day we all new what needed to be done and we did it.

working at fashion q could be a great first job for someone looking to build confidence and experience. at this job you will have to be friendly and helpful to customers, and vigilant about being organized and finishing your tasks. Management could be intimidating at first, but in my experience they only act that way so you basically respect them and what they say. If youre a diligent worker who doesnt mind being corrected then you will certainly last at this job. Ive learned important skills since working here, notably to just be more social and attentive to the needs of others. You feel good when helping customers find what theyre looking for, or when looking at the store at the end of the day and its all tidy. Sometimes it gets busy and crowded, as there is a large selection of clothes and a popular place for customers, but time goes by fast at Fashion Q. Really recommend this job.

A typical day started with cleaning the dressing room, organizing the racks, counting the register, and greeting customers as they walk in. I learned to develop my customer service skills. Management is nice. The workplace was enjoyable and my co-worker were amazing. The hardest part of working there was having to deal with thieves and rude customers. The best part, however, was getting first dibs of new merchandise. I really loved working around cute clothes if that makes sense. 0_o (p.s. i had a problem)... With all this stated, fashion Q is a good place to start for your first job.

If this is a first time job for you it's a good start. If you have worked in retail befor or for awhile this not a job for you. Key holder's doesn't have much Authority, and the management and owners don't really fix anything. Manager and owner will write you up for talking to the other employee if it's not about business. They do come out with a set schedule but always changes. If you have a a second job this job does not work with other job schedules, meaning if you give the times and days that you are not available to work for them because of your other job the manager ignores it and schedule you however she feels fit. There no way of keeping track of your clock in and clock out times.

A typical day at work with Fashion Q is processing new inventory, such as clothing, accessories and shoes. Making customers feel comfortable while shopping so they can find what they need. Performing various cashier duties, such as handling transactions, returns, maintaining a clean environment, and assuring that customers are leaving satisfied and pleased. I have been with Fashion Q for a year and six months, but I feel like I have gained everything I can out of the company. I have gained valuable customer service experience, but there is not much room for advancement and I am looking for a new opportunity where I can grow.
