Welcome to the C&A career webpage
Do you want to become one of the 36,000 people who work for C&A? From a small textile company we have grown into one of the biggest and most trusted fashion retailers in the world. With their passion our employees have made of C&A a success story for already more than 170 years.
Although we look very different from the small family company, we still uphold the same values today. C&A people are passionate about the business and together they take responsibility to deliver results. Within C&A we value diversity and stimulate sharing of new or ‘different’ opinions and ideas. Each colleague is treated with respect and professional trust.
All staff, whatever their position within C&A, receive thorough training on joining and throughout their career. We offer growth opportunities for every function and invest heavily in youngsters with potential. Each year C&A takes on a number of graduates who go through a comprehensive training program.
So, are you ready?
…to start a thrilling career with a major fashion retailer?
We are looking for talented and ambitious graduates with a true passion for fashion and a strong drive to grow in a rewarding but challenging fast moving environment. We offer a variety of opportunities within Buying, Merchandising and Fashion Coordination.
Together we are strong
Individual responsibility and teamwork are writ large at C&A.
If it is to operate effectively, an enterprise the size of C&A is no place for "lone wolves". We need team-oriented colleagues to work together towards one goal, namely the success of the company as a whole. We believe contented employees are also more efficient and that is why we entrust our staff with as much responsibility as possible for the field in which they work.
And good performance is, of course, also rewarded. This is why C&A has launched a Europe-wide, cross-departmental bonus system that is of benefit to each and every member of staff. Each store is set individual bonus targets, which they have a realistic chance of achieving. For those at management level there is a variable, performance-related bonus scheme.
Total commitment to a good working atmosphere
At C&A there are many ways to resolve conflict.
As in any other enterprise, differences of opinion between employees or between employees and their superiors cannot always be avoided. To deal with such cases, C&A has put in place an effective complaints management system. Any employee who feels discriminated against or compromised or hurt in any other way has the right to bring their concern to the attention of a member of the management in full confidentiality – if wished in the company of a colleague of their choice. In addition, C&A complies with all legal provisions to enable employees to join an organisation of their choice which represents the interests of employees. Fairness and mutual trust are fundamental aspects of our actions. To guarantee this, C&A has established the Fairness Channel through which affected employees can make direct contact with selected, specially appointed confidants.
Our greatest capital: our employees
A career at C&A begins with in-depth training
Every year, C&A trains hundreds of young people in a broad range of vocations. Following such training, each of them has the same chance of further training, and the same chance of career advancement. What is more, our in-house training system goes beyond what the legislators in each respective country demand. This includes ensuring trainees at C&A have the personal support of an experienced member of staff. Moreover, C&A also has in-house trainers who offer our trainees additional, targeted knowledge relating to the scope of their duties. In this way all trainees receive a balance of theoretical and practical training.
