Pros

Sadly i can find nothing possitive to say about working conditions at this company.

Cons

Lack of effective management at both senior and retail store level. The company actively inhibits change and innovation. Employee morale is very low with a culture of dishonesty and cover-up amongst senior management. I'd give the Orvis HQ negative stars if that were possible. I've been working at the Orvis U.K. for a number of years now and wouldn’t recommend employment with this company to anyone. I sometimes wonder if the senior management in the U.S. are aware of the incompetence and dishonesty that occurs within the U.K. arm of this company. This company lacks the ambition to change with current retail trends and actively discourages employees from voicing their legitimate concerns regarding poor management performance. As such employee morale and confidence is at an all-time low. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS
