Still outdated. - Sales Associate Prada Employee Review

- Employee clothing coordination that doesn’t make sense, shirts underneath dresses? In the summer time? - Company normally does not hire within, had an internal potential candidate for GM position. They hired someone from an entry level brand (not luxury) with 6 months GM experience compared to someone within PRADA with 10 years management experience with a high-end French fashion house. - No internal PRADA career site, unable to view available positions within company. - Since the past few years, company has been doing cuts on employee benefits like dry cleaning and possible overtime (no longer 40+ hours) to save money. Meanwhile, company spends millions on wasteful paper usage and pointless short film advertisements with directors. - Terrible press on The New York Times and Business of Fashion, company is not heading in the right, profitable direction especially with outdated leadership. - I had small, subtle religious jewelry on, “manager” stated that I couldn’t wear it because of what was stated in employee handbook. I took it off immediately without much qualm but was a little bothered. I was pulled aside later and questioned for the reason “why” I had interest in specific religion. I OWE YOU NO EXPLANATION ON MY RELIGIOUS BELIEFS. - Meanwhile, employee handbook had also stated staff should wear 2 rings or less - “manager” wore 4 to 5 rings daily… “Manager” has issues with small tattoo that was visible on colleague yet “manager” had VERY VISIBLE tattoos that weren’t covered up. You get the idea, do I need to explain more? - A lot of unnecessary paperwork and presentations implemented by boutiques. Need to write down every interaction with clients and potential clients for management to write up a report at the end of the day (because they're rarely on the floor to witness interaction)... - "Management" lying about reaching out to corporate on the behalf of associate when no such interaction had occurred (possible company transfers, questions, issues).
