      Beautiful brand, talented people, compensation and systems need attention

      General manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Strong design heritage and genuinely beautiful product. Local studio leadership and team culture can be excellent depending on location. Real opportunities to take ownership of initiatives if you're proactive. Good exposure to design industry and trade community.

      Cons

      Compensation has not kept pace with market, particularly for senior retail leadership roles. Enterprise systems and tools lag behind what's standard in the industry. Career pathing and growth opportunities beyond store leadership are unclear. Communication from corporate to field can feel one-directional.

      You get what you put in

      Design specialist

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      The work can be fulfilling, and the benefits are good. It really is one of those jobs where it is what you make of it. I’ve seen people not put in any effort and then complain that they don’t succeed, and others who love what they do and the success comes from that.

      Cons

      Sales driven Must work weekends
