Pros

Good benefits that are in-line with current trends. Company pays for short term disability insurance which now covers 100% of your salary. This includes maternity leave, as well. Insurance reimburses you for gym membership.

Cons

Lack of leadership, corporate culture, and too many egos. As the saying goes, "too many chiefs, not enough indians." This is true of Vince. There's too many VPs of this, senior VPs of that, senior directors of etc. etc., but they're all useless. Nothing but fancy titles and empty promises. It's a giant revolving door here and the company can't seem to keep it's employees employed because everyone either leaves after a few months, or they're forced out by someone with a fancier title and bigger ego. The company is hemorrhaging money left and right. They brought back the original founders as "consultants" and paid them both beaucoup bucks. They left halfway through their consulting contract. Can you guess why? TOO MANY EGOS. The company's stocks are worth less than a cup of coffee at Starbucks now. Sad to see what was once a great company with a great corporate culture turn into the state of disarray as it is now.

Pros

Clothing allowance was nice. But, not worth it. The amount of times you had to wear the same thing in a week made the garments wear out and pill quickly.

Cons

This is not a place to work if you want to grow. The company does not attract talented managers to run their business. They would rather hire green leaders and then not develop them. It is clearly to save money because the stores are so low volume. I've worked in a few locations in the city and helped out with coverage gaps. I've seen someone get promoted to SM and the stock room lacked basic organizational standards (Prince St.). HR does not fully look into complaints even when there is black and white photos of what is happening. Instead the harassment is allowed to continue. I've seen the manager in Meatpacking direct sales away from people to make their sales lower and denied someone sick pay (which is legally required to be paid out). In private she is extremely ghetto and unprofessional. I feel bad for the people that want to grow in the company and then get stuck in the same position for years. Unfortunately, the DM is out of touch with what happens in her stores and stresses her mangers out so they do not speak up. This is not an environment that people are really able to put their best foot forward because there is so much chattyness and sabotage.
