Pros
• Exceptionally talented and creative design team with huge potential. • Exposure to exciting product categories and well-known retailers. • Fast-paced environment that can be rewarding if you’re highly self-motivated.
Cons
• Extremely poor leadership under Carollan Ferriday. She often speaks about teamwork and communication but behaves in ways that divide rather than unite the team. • Clear favouritism, secrecy, and inconsistent messaging that lead to confusion, anxiety, and low morale. • Feedback is rarely constructive — often critical without offering direction for improvement. • Conflict is escalated instead of resolved, leaving staff feeling unsupported and blamed. • Very little investment in personal growth or progression unless you are part of her inner circle. • Creativity is stifled by micromanagement and an unwillingness to explore new ideas. • Since Carollan stepped into a senior role, staff turnover within the design team has risen sharply — talented designers consistently leave due to the toxic culture and lack of genuine support.
