Pros

-Strong fashion forward products -generous discount -promotion within the company to corporate levels

Cons

-Biased management: Many fellow co-workers promoted to corporate office (770) but only if they were well liked or threw a fit about it. -Management can be very condescending, micromanaging, and not follow through on many promises to help you work in department you are interested in. Also very clear when managers don't care or don't like you.

Pros

Good time-off package. Holiday week off for office employees. Historically respected work-life balance and flexible working. Good employee discount and maternity leave.

Cons

C-suite pushing a mandatory 3 days in-office after 5+ years of boasting flexibility as a cornerstone of their employee benefits package. Lack of clear and thoughtful communication of this new policy was frustrating and disheartening as an employee. Leadership, starting with the CEO, is at an all-time low of the last 6 years of working in their corporate office. Horrifying to see how poorly initiatives are getting rolled out, likely getting pushed down from board of directors. Would anticipate a rough transition into the company if you choose to take a role replacing the dozens of employees possibly being forced to leave the company due to RTO.
