Pros

-Great vision/design from Creative Director/Kering -Discount -Benefits -Paid employees during quarantine to work from home instead of lay offs (they won't let you forget it either)

Cons

-Highly toxic work environment -No work/life balance -District Manager instructed me to recruit a certain gender/race -HR team completely useless, issues would last a lot longer due to their lack of concern. -Policies change rapidly, don't get use to anything. -New useless trainings each week sent from Italy that has no relation to US market. -NEVER RECEIVED A PROPER REVIEW, Store Director made the excuse of the store being "too busy" to conduct ONE review but proceeded to assign me with 12 reviews to write and conduct within a week. -HR Issues were leaked by upper management to employees. -No path for growth -Was told by Store Director "You must sell your soul in order to be successful within this company." -Was never guided or trained properly but was criticised for lack of knowledge -District Manager blatantly favored certain employees in her region, often called "mom" by these certain employees. -New employees were always discriminated/bullied by seasoned employees. Store Director favored seasoned employees, which created tension within the store.

Pros

One thing - employee discount

Cons

Leadership and communication lacked consistency. Employee well-being often felt secondary to metrics and sales performance. Expectations continued to increase while support and recognition declined. The culture became increasingly stressful, and decisions affecting employees were not always handled transparently. Many talented employees left due to burnout, turnover, and lack of confidence in management.
