Pros

- they promote from within, and are loyal to their staff. - beautiful product - integrity behind their work - growing client base - growing brand, increasing attention in press, boutiques, and privately owned stores - lenient about sick days and doctor appointments - always lots to do, will never be bored - incredibly talented and understand creative director - management is good at expressing gratitude and appreciation for hard work and positive results This company has it's ups and downs. It is not for everyone. With that said, I do not regret a minute of my time here. I believe like my skills were truly nurtured and my hard work did not go unnoticed. If you have a thick skin, are a are self-motivated person than this company could be great for you.

Cons

- "loosely" run, meetings never start on time, deadline dates do not mean much, direction comes from multiple areas and is frequently not in agreement with one another - sometimes work load is overwhelming, even for the most productive worker - required to work 2 Saturdays before every market. - family run busines, therefore family drama's - people allergic to animals should beware - takes a very VERY long time for things to happen when you need them, such as a raise, a desk chair, etc.

Pros

Not one! not even a glimmer of hope.

Cons

Despite all the positive reviews that the employees were most likely forced to write attempting to cover up all the horrible reviews. This company has not changed . Although one of the owners (a sister ) has left the company do to family infighting , leading to major embarrassing family legal battles for everyone to see on the internet, it is still the same despicable, deplorable company it has become. The owner refuses to acknowledge the failings of top management who has led this company down the path of no return and into the ground. After all this time, the stench from unethical practices by senior management still lingers. I am living proof that this company will stop at nothing to take what it needs from you, then kick you to the curb without blinking an eye. The owner who is an extreme passive aggressive will lie straight to your face if its going to benefit her in some way or get what she wants from you. The owner and top management (VP) have antiquated ideals , pompous attitudes , bulling mentalities and don't realize actions have consequences . They don't realize that the internet is now a powerful tool which can help employees vent their frustrations when they have been treated badly by unethical employers such as Sequin. Sequins behavior, by its own doing, led to all the horrible reviews on Glassdoor by past and present employees , which are all spot on and not fabricated in any way. In addition to burning every bridge they can. they offer no apologies or regrets for the way they have treated employees and their attempt to sweep all their horrific behavior under the rug is pathetic!!! They view their despicable actions / behavior toward hard working ethical employees NOT as a missed opportunity and regret, but instead as a badge of honor and given half a chance, they would do it again. They simply don't know any other way. Until they make major senior level changes. there is absolutely no hope of turning this hell hole of company around and making it as success as it once was before all the talented employees left.

Pros

No pros of any kind

Cons

This is a company that values incompetent, corrupt, wasteful higher up managers who consistently fail, more than they value employees who have proven to be assets and working in the best interest of the company. Working there is more like Bizarro World, where up is down and down is up. The Management is dishonest and the owners have no clue how much damage they are doing and how much they are costing the company. Wasteful spending, orchestrated sabotage on employees that are seen as a threat to them or who get in their way. The incompetent higher ups ostracize and circumvent employees who actually know what they are doing. No structure, no checks and balances, no organization of any kind. somewhat of a free for all for the abusive managers who constantly get away with just about anything they want. No actual screening of potential managerial employees who turn out to be nothing more than frauds and con-artists who can talk a dog off a meat wagon . It is obvious the owners buy into their sales pitch all the time. It is a Mecca for frauds. This is not a place for normal, moral, ethically minded professionals. It is a haven and breeding ground for unethical con artists who will make your life a living hell if they know you have caught on to them. There is no job worth damaging your physical and mental health and hurting your future prospects with another employer.
