Pros

I made a few friends while there. I got to attend a few small-scale company related events.

Cons

Nearly all of the upper level positions in corporate are held by people who have literally never worked anywhere other than Kendra Scott. They have zero experience, yet they are the ones essentially running the corporate office. I was bullied by grown women and talked about behind my back for not dressing like a sorority girl. Everyone in management is extremely passive aggressive and will never approach you to correct a situation. They just wait until it spirals out of control, and then they lay the blame on the people who choose not to be apart of their specific clique. Kendra herself is a very unpleasant, dramatic, and erratic personality. She has cursed and yelled at employees, fired people who do not fit in to what she thinks is the image of her company (if you worked there, you'd discover very quickly there is little to NO diversity), and completely disregarded basic personal needs of her staff, all the while giving interviews and speeches on how she is philanthropic and family oriented. She has very little involvement in the design process as well, other than pulling magazine pages. She doesn't and can't draw, she doesn't use CAD, or anything else relevant or necessary to designing. I worked well over 50 hours each week, and was paid very little hourly. When I began needing to take weekends off so I could have some sort of personal life (I was hired as a corporate employee, Mon-Fri), there as absolutely no room for discussion. I had to work nearly 7 days a week.

Pros

Decent work autonomy. Great for a person who wants something that gives back. I know the philanthropic element is also a tax write off but it does feel fulfilling to go to the events and give back. I could have seen myself here longer but the leader I worked under made it kind of difficult. There is room for real growth though and I liked that. Maybe one day I’ll go back?

Cons

Whether you enjoy your time here or not really depends on who your district manager and store manager are. My district manager was a bit challenging to read and didn’t really take initiative when there were issues within our store. It was sad because I saw more than one other person experience bullying from an events manager who came in from another store. I left because after I reported the bullying that I saw to my manager, she was silent about it and didn’t do anything. I didn’t feel like she had her teams best interest. That just doesn’t cut it when you’re leading people who count on you. It was sad overall. I learned that they rewarded this behavior by transferring this person to another store in the South with a promotion. It’s a disappointing situation. Glad i left this district but maybe it’s better in other districts.
