Pros

Excellent opportunity to learn a niche skill, i.e. fabric and textile design. Working with the best textile suppliers in the world. I made some fantastic connections and learned a lot. Great benefits within a globally recognised brand.

Cons

Day to day is quit stilted and work can be very repetitive. No encouragement to work cross departments, and some colleagues can be unnecessarily competitive.

I would only recommend for those needing part-time work.

Business Outlook

Pros

Understanding luxury clientele, having access to fashion trends, gaining a greater insight into the sourcing of materials and factories (i.e. Experiencing the product difference from made in China vs made in England materials)

Cons

There is little to no growth within the company. There are very few US stores and the pay is minimal. Operationally, the company has serious flaws. Paychecks were consistently incorrect, benefit plans have had completely incorrect information, the internal software and resources provided constantly crashed, making it very problematic to assist customers in a timely fashion. Overall, I would classify any retail position as a filler position. Be mindful that this is not a very progressive company, and the emphasis is completely sales based. You could bring innovation and passion everyday, but those ideas will fall on deaf ears if your particular store isn't making forecast. This sales based metrics measurements creates tension amongst associates trying to make goals.
