I was so excited and really looking forward to joining the company so I feel gutted writing this, because it was the opposite of exciting. Very soon after starting, I realised that it was your ‘typical’ fashion company with everyone severely overworked and underpaid. The management team are highly unprofessional by badmouthing colleagues as well as other management, there is a big hierarchy issue, and the turnover is one of the worst I have experienced in such a small team
The high turnover results in unmanageable workloads so people become stressed and speak to others with no respect. Emotions are constantly running high, and all people seem to talk about is leaving and how unhappy they are
There is minimal care for your mental health, social life and personal happiness
Progression is promised, which I’m sure in 1 or 2 departments it may be possible, but overall there isn’t much. There is clear and open favouritism which may have affected this
No attempt to mix departments making it hard to meet anyone new
