Pros

There really are no pros..after leaving this dreadful company I have never been happier being away from such mental abuse. It's awful at Ballet..ask all previous employees especially in the creative department.

Cons

Obviously the positive reviews of this company and its upper management are all FALSE information! This is ridiculous... I've worked at Ballet and have to point out that don't be fooled by these positive reviews. They are all done by the same person within upper management to kosher what they have done wrong all these years. I've personally worked with the head of merchandising & design. and they have no prior knowledge within the industry in merchandising nor design. They came from a background of sales and jumped to an upper management position under favoritism and shady actions. They are abusive, manipulative, gives no support, abuses their powers, and is running the company down under. I can't believe these remarks on stating how much of a role model they are because it's a complete lie. Someone needs to expose the truth on this company. Turnover rates are absurd and Head management of merchandising is the cause of this..everyone either wants to leave.. Leaves..or is unfairly fired for personal reasons on their part because they didn't favor them! They either feel threatened by their talents because they have none to back themselves up. Trends and taste levels of product at this company are horrific! There is no innovation or clear design direction. All talent left of course due to poor management. Lets just put it this way..Ballet has a horrible rep, even recruiters can't recruit any more talent to come work in this unhealthy mentally abusive work place!!

Pros

This is my first real job our of college and it has been a great experience. The VP of sales is very hands on and great at explaining the big picture. I work with the sales associate most of the time, and it's great working on a project together. The entire team is very nice and welcoming so I felt comfortable here when starting. There's definitely room for growth, everyone here has been with the company for such a long time.

Cons

It can get overwhelming during market and post market but that will happen in any job.

Pros

None. This is not your typical OR ideal workplace…it’s less than… poorly managed…I unfortunately wouldn’t even recommend new graduates to apply here… you have a better chance developing your skills and learning the PROPER way the industry operates elsewhere …I’m warning you! If you are reading this….believe the bad reviews! This is not a joke.

Cons

Dirty work environment, no one is friendly in the office, the company doesnt put money back into their employees with holiday parties etc. There is no summer Fridays…you dont grow in this company or learn much of anything. Their process is dated. No one in the company actually went to school for this field. You work with a lot of lovely immigrants who don’t speak English ! because they want to cut cost. No diversity and inclusion…POC run. Or maybe the Spanish immigrants cover that for them lol I don’t know but they aren’t valued or even accounted for at times…so RUN! Don’t apply lol
