Pros

The pay is ok. Not the best. Other places are paying better for the same job.

Cons

With the exception of some of the newer upper management, upper management is aware of many of the flaws and does not take appropriate steps to fix them. It is an extremely inefficient place. The culture is extremely petty and often feels like being back in high school. Not enough focus on staying modern throughout the company. There is a high focus on cutting cost and not enough investment in the company. Retention of great employees is non existent. I see this company falling behind other fashion companies in many ways. Nothing will change while things stay the status quo.
