Pros

Great product Used to have an amazing culture Still a few good people left

Cons

Horrid executive management Field management is arrogant and useless Top talent is overlooked If you are Male, Pretty and used to work for Abercrombie and Fitch you will have no problem getting top level postitions within this company. I have seen outstanding, talented, caring, field management and corporate partners that built this company, drummed out to make room for these pretty AF boys. Leadership skills are no longer required. Intelligence either. All you have to do is go into a store with the almighty checklists and hassle any management that was not recruited in by the AF boys club. This is no longer a place to grow if you are over forty, or a woman. The only women that are brought on seem to be twenty something and smaller than a size 6. I guess our 35 to 65 demographic that shops Tommy Bahama is no longer on “BRAND” All those wonderful anonymous reviews coming out of the corporate office are probably forced or done by some of those that received promotions because of who they knew vs actually knowing how to do the job they were hired for and are continuing to curry favor with the dear leader.

Pros

Good starting salary and beautiful location.

Cons

No structure and highest turn-over rate for managers of anywhere I have worked. I was terminated for improperly locking a warped accordion door. This door was never part of closing procedure as it had never been opened on a closing shift I worked. I was then told to have a guy help me because I wasn’t strong enough to shut it. The GM didn’t like me and I can see why. The regional played favorites to the GM and was fake and dismissive in interactions with me. The GM didn’t know what he was doing, other than pressing the much younger server staff he employed. There was no structure, no communication, and no organization.
