Still outdated.

Pros

- Still a family owned brand (to be honest, negatives outweigh the positives). - Employee clothing allowance that changes from season to season (cannot keep pieces).

Cons

- 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The New York Times and Business of Fashion, company is not heading in the right, profitable direction especially with outdated leadership.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).

Pros

Pay scale is higher than most other companies.

Cons

Not enough support from corporate. Most people do not want to help you as they feel it it is forbidden to help out. Which leaves you always wondering of you are doing your job correclty. There was also too much turn over. If you did build a relationship it would not last long as usually people leave with in two years.
