It is a definitely good company to work for. Great insurance at NAS. Amazing schedule
Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Dubai - January 30, 2022
Love being a part of the company, after some time you can apply for dedicated staff or beauty advisor of some well-known brand and get a commission from that brand. P.S. Sometimes do not pursue the logic of the actions or tasks that you have been given :) Just do what was asked. :D
Pros
Positive people around, environment, providing accommodation and transportation.
Cons
scanners at the airport, shifting and night duties

A quite fast pace retail service but always gives the highest quality customer service.
Sales assistant/Jo Malone London Brand (Former Employee) - Dubai - August 4, 2021
Our schedule is 8hrs a day and on shifting basis. (2mornings/2afternoons/2nights) We are divided in to 4 cluster A-D to rotate and we call those daily mornings as G shift. I have learned to treat every customer as VIP as we believe in a highest quality of customer service. At the airport we make it as fun and productive until our shift ends. The inter-racial colleagues help you as well deal with each nationalities of customer. I learned to speak few and basic Russian, chinese,Arabic, and few of Spanish. The hardest part of the job is when I ended my career because of the situation now. The most enjoyable part is you meet Hollywood stars and our very own celebrity. Also, you learn to embrace other nationalities behavior.
Pros
Pick up and drop off transportation./ Accomodation
Cons
24 hours Airport

Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - United Arab Emirates - May 28, 2021
For me this was very memorable moments in my entire life for the past 16 years working with Dubai dutyfree and co workers with different nationalities all over the world. Meet and greet different customers and pasengers all over the world. I learned a lot specially from sales how you would approach the customer's needs.The management was very understandable and very helpful from their staff. Language barrier are difficult specially from the customers and entering from the shop. Everyday is enjoyable because you meet different people and how you would intetact with them.
Pros
It depends when there is big events like tennis tournament etc.
Cons
8 hours duty maximum

Very Good compensation package and benifits.
Retail Sales Supervisor (Former Employee) - Dubai - February 7, 2021
Salary and job is fulfilling but Management and the way people are chosen for senior roles is very poor and subjective. Great track record and good performance is not valued and if you show intelligence and capabilities management will treat you as a threat.
Pros
Free Transpo
Cons
Subjective managers and poor promotion
