Pros

The collection and bridal are stunning. Wholesale account buyers were wonderful to work with as well.

Cons

Marchesa has absolutely no money. I did the job of 4 people and was told I needed to work weekends with no comp days given. How am I supposed to work 6 days a week. Design worked 3 months in a row without any days off. The Management (if that's what you want to call them) have no idea what they are doing and support an unhealthy work environment. They constantly have their doors closed which is unproductive and intimidating. There was no money for supplies the office is filthy. The designers are not pleasant to work with and the quality of the Notte collection is embarrassing to sell. Word around the industry says this company will be out of business soon.

Pros

The talented and hardworking employees.

Cons

Management, particularly the CEO, has no idea what they (he) are doing. The company is lucky the Weinstein company is basically keeping the company afloat. They do not have any money to pay their vendors and luckily there was no issue with paychecks. It is true (from previous reviews) the word around the industry the company is going under - and fast. There is no standard for the way they do things, the CEO is very unprofessional and you never knew what kind of mood he would be in until he would be storming around the office just yelling at people. He grabs things out of your hand and there have been people from other companies who refuse to work with him. Not one person in the company likes him and for obvious reasons. They need HR to help them get a better hiring system in place and on-boarding system to go through training with new hires. Also, they have lied to new employees coming in to interview and when starting the job - nothing they told them was true. This is the worst job I have ever had and the experience was degrading and I advise never to work here - unless new CEO is hired.

Pros

The team is very friendly and young. Late nights are fun.

Cons

There is no work-life balance. The company owes every single one of their vendors and materials always come in late, a week or two before line opening, and the whole team is expected to work overnight to finish the collection. Once they made work the atelier team (sewers, cutters and pattern makers) 36 hours straight before a show. 6 months later, they still hadn´t paid their overtime fees.
