The top 15 retailers people love to work for

John Lewis is the best retailer to work for in the UK, according to data compiled from thousands of UK employee reviews.

Job site Indeed analysed reviews submitted by visitors to discover which employees consider their business the best. John Lewis famously invites staff to become Partners and offers them a share of the profits, which helped them to cinch the top spot.

Second-placed Lush Cosmetics pays at least the Living Wage to all retail staff, and scored highly for its ethical stance, flexible work hours and 50% staff discount. Good rates of pay were a common theme among the most favoured companies; third-placed IKEA was the first large retailer to commit to paying the Living Wage or more to all staff.

Kevin Walker, Senior Director of Employer Insights at Indeed, said that people judge their job on more than just money.
