Bona fide family business - Business Operations Manager ROYCE New York Employee Review

When I worked for an Kering brand, I was always confined to the flagship store and did not have the chance to work press events, private client showings, etc. at external locations. What has been cool about Royce so far has been doing monogram events for NYFW, on the High Line, at the Standard hotel rooftop, in LA and Las Vegas, as well as other local venues in the NYC area in my limited time with the company.

The hours are like those of a bartender given how many events. For example, a recent event didn't end till past midnight which can be tough when you have kids. Fortunately I don't have any yet, but I feel for my coworkers. Luckily, it's a family business so they're quite cognizant of that and scheduling is pretty flexible since there's a lot of us on staff.

did my college summer internship at Royce Leather and it reaffirmed how much I love marketing and brand management. I wasn't stuck with nonsense clerical work but instead got to work on exciting current projects where my voice was actually taken seriously. A nice surprise that I had not anticipated was what a generous honest group of people work at Royce- even if I was just a temporary intern, they really gave me a lot of attention.

The working hours were longer than I expected especially since some events were on weekends and since I live on the upper west side the commute sucked a bit
