Pros

The employees are great. Those that stick around are dedicated to the company and generally positive, despite the few bad eggs. While they recognize that there's a problem with work load and compensation, and say they are trying to fix it, they keep around the bad managers and directors that belittle everyone despite high turnover rates.

Cons

Long hours. Pay is not great. No opportunity for advancement. No feedback from manager. Disengaged senior management who don't care what it take to get results. Communication is non existent. Favoritism.

Pros

I cannot recommend working here enough. My time here was so much fun. The work environment also added to my great experience working at Holt Renfrew. This company caters well to their clients and employees. I loved being able to have a say in which brands the department would bring in. The sales associates are the ones most connected with the clients so I enjoyed that they listened to our opinions. The management was very good also and I found that everyone had lots of experience and were qualified to be managers (unlike Nordstrom, which lets people be in management who shouldn’t.) The company holds many events which is fun for employees and clients alike. Overall, I would recommend working here to anyone.

Cons

If you are working on full commission it can be difficult to make income when slow seasons come and I think they should change that because it would create a less competitive environment and allow employees to make more genuine connections with the clients. This is only in one department.
