Cotton On has got to be one of the worst places I have ever worked at. They don't pay on time and when they eventually decide to pay you, they pay you half of what you worked for.

I had to keep calling/texting the manager for my pay and he kept feeding me the same excuses and lies (miscalculated my work hours, the bank account number I gave them was missing a digit etc.). Cotton On paid me A MONTH after my salary was due and even then they paid me less than half of what I was supposed to get. I had to keep calling them for the next 3 weeks only to discover that they deposited a miserable RM 50 into my account (oh hey, where's the rest of my pay?).
The manager said he would start up an EPF account for me but he didn't and he still owes me the rest of my salary. It's been 3 months already.

Don't be fooled by the whole "we are the highest paying employers in Malaysia" spiel. Also, their tagline "come play with us" is complete BS. They pressure you to push items like scarves etc. and if you don't sell enough of them in a day, they threaten to cut down your hours.

In the first month I worked there, 10 people quit because they were not being paid accordingly. This is why they have to keep hiring.

I can understand why a lot of people would buy from them. They're cheap, they keep updated on trends... But from my own personal experience, they shortchange people. When they feel like it, they'll price a pair of shorts for RM 59, the next week, it'll be priced at RM 25. I have witnessed discount rack items go from RM 15 per piece to RM 39 in a day. The system is messy and different outlets sell their pieces at different prices so don't expect the prices to be the same everywhere. Just my 2, VERY LONG, cents. Haha.
