NA-KD Reviews

- Verbal agreements are not valid, even to some extent written agreements too. You must be prepared that everything can happen overnight; you can get fired with no good reason at all, your job description can change, your bonus or option program can be cancelled and such. It's not a place to have long term plans with.  - There is not a real difference between slacking off and really putting in effort for your job. Reward of extra work, extra output is not valued ("slacker" and "overachiever" difference in terms of benefits is less than 5%) so there is no incentive for running the extra mile.  - If you have change in managers and new one doesn't like you, expect to be subject to mobbing and getting fired eventually. - If you are a foreigner in this company, you are on thin ice at all times. Company will assume you need them to hold onto your residency permit and be okay with whatever they want in your career, income, job description or workload.  - Inexperienced management, they have no clue on how to run a business. They recently had a change in the top management, old ones left in a hurry. New ones seem to have no plan to fix the course whatsoever nor the experience. Only plan they came up with -or hired to execute- was laying off 30% of the company, and they didn't even have a plan on where to cut costs. Now they are closing down departments left and right without fully knowing what that department was doing. There is also a vacuum in the power dynamics in the company due to the fact that there is actually no one in charge, there is a massive blame game going within the company when sales are down. New boss seems to have no control of the situation or the people, probably due to his lack of experience; only sits in the room with both feet on the table and keeps telling everyone that he sleeps well. - Company advocates being green and environmentally sustainable. That is also highly incorrect. There was a section on the site called Na-kd Circle, which claims that users can sell and buy second hand clothing. In reality, customers could not sell their second hand products on site, and products listed on site as "second hand" or "pre-loved" are nothing but defective customer returns.

- No pay, not even traffic expenses or occasional lunch, 40% clothes discount! - Bullied into overtime so the managers don’t need to work as much and they take your work as their own! - Managers with no experince!! Key account and co-lab managers with a background just as a sales advisor from Zara, Are do kidding me? - Promised a position after the internship? Never gonna happen if you do not spend your evenings at the office, some people spend the night in the office and never leave work! - No creativity from the design team as everything is copy past and send from ’head of fashion’ who does not have fashion sense at all! - Stealing design from other brands, complete silhuettes and naming that inspiration? - All the managers are owners friends, he just gave a department to each friend.

Very frustrating with your work-life balance in general! - Basic salary if you are not very smart to ask for it, 90-120 SEK per hour before taxes, you will earn more as housekeeping! - 50/60% of the company are interns because they do not want to pay or they will say that they do not have a budget for employment? No wonder if they are paying themselfes how much?? - Buying followers, creating alias/fake e-mails to communicate with influencers - Bad quality, cheap polyester and plastic - Not sustainable at all and do not care to be - A lot of people in the company are boyfriend-girlfriend and this is the main reason they are hired because connections are crucial even if your competence is 0 - Office/Kitchen is always very dirty and full of dust, all the plants are dry and dead! - Studio is always a mess, people are sitting in the dark with no windows! - Everything you do is ASAP because, is there an other way? Like maybe doing it on time so you do not put pressure on other people at the end to clean your sh*t after you messed everything up? - Fluctuation of people is enormous, employees are coming and leaving as we speak! - Always behind budget but acting like you are in the top of the game? How about not? - You can not act as a start-up after having 200+ people working there! - Na-kd will never be Zara, dream on!
