Pros

Loved working at LaSenza. Until it was bought by Regent

Cons

Took away benefits, including severance right before mass lay off. Your expected to pick up workload of another individual if they leave / get fired with no extra pay. Regent won’t pay for product (that’s already been made) for stores, so sales decline due to no newness / lack of inventory. Then blames home office for lack of profitability taking away promised bonuses + other benefits.

Pros

-The prestige of being in the family of brands owned by LBrands -Home office perks, e.g. staff parties, expense accounts, location, discounts, excellent benefits, etc. -If you become one of the pets of the leadership team you will get promotions, extensive travel and you will either get your way or get a lot of help with your category - If you are not one of the pets, good luck doing your work to anyone's satisfaction or receiving recognition for your accomplishments.

Cons

-This is NOT a place to work as a designer. They will say again and again and again, "Merchant Led. Design inspired." If you're a merchant great, if you're a designer, you're a copycat doing knock-offs from competitor samples. -Long hours -Chaotic scheduling and calendar changes at the last minute - do not expect to ever fully use your vacation time -Office cliques and politics rule all decision making -The leadership team does not value the integrity of their designers' work. -Fickle leadership -Unstable category/product organization -Ownership of categories can - and will - change at any time depending on "business needs." -It seems that the company was added to the family of brands as a safe testing ground for tricky concepts in other divisions (i.e. PINK and Victoria's Secret) so that sales results could be determined on new product without hurting the market share and sales of the other brands.
