    Aquila, the brand – A brief history of Aquila ShoesAquila is a family business established in 1958, founded on humble beginnings in a small workshop in Melbourne, Australia. It was the result of one man’s Italian passion and know-how for creating premium quality footwear that revelled in both craftsmanship and uncompromised style.Aquila, translates in English to ‘Eagle’ and was chosen for the attributes it represents; Confidence, Precision, Strength and Style.Catching the eye of every fashion-conscious gentleman across Australia, Aquila quickly built a reputation for quality fashion footwear and the demand saw expansion into multiple retail stores.Since the unprecedented success across it’s footwear lines, Aquila seamlessly expanded into men’s tailored clothing and now offers complete outfitting solutions for the modern man. Quality, craftsmanship and detailing remain at the core of the offer, creating timeless pieces which last from season to season.Today, almost 60 years on, a third generation of family members are hard at work continuing the Aquila legacy and the brand now operates over 40 retail stores nationwide and is as proud of its rich heritage as its position as the leader in men’s tailored fashion in Australia.Source: This is an extract from the company's own website.

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees appreciate the company culture at Aquila Shoes, noting a positive and supportive environment in both head office and stores. Colleagues are friendly and supportive, with many forming lasting friendships. The work/life balance is good, offering flexibility and a relaxed work environment that is rare in retail. There are opportunities for career development in this evolving business, and compensation and staff discounts are competitive compared to other companies in the sector.

    However, there are some potential challenges, such as management structure and organisation being inconsistent at times, and formal training programmes being limited with a more traditional approach to on-the-job learning. Meeting sales targets can be challenging in this performance-driven retail environment, and some employees find that working across multiple channels makes it difficult to focus on one specific area.

    They don’t like you when you know your rights and don’t mention proper legal breaks you should take
    The good thingsExperiences with customers and colleagues
    The challengesVery old school company in charge by manipulation from higher management. False promises to employees and only like you when you benefit them. They overwork you and send you to several locations and if you say no they’ll get rid of you.
