Athleta reviews

Complete loss of the Athleta culture. It used to be a truly collaborative environment where ideas could come from anywhere and where there was a true intention to create work/life balance for the employees. We used to be trusted and given opportunities for growth. Now it's basically a horrible, toxic environment where people are micro-managed to within an inch of their lives, given zero opportunities for development, and constantly bombarded with negativity. Some people can't even be bothered to say good morning---it's like a mean girls club. The environment is so antithetical to what the brand claims are it's values, it's really disconcerting. Excellent employees who have worked long and hard at Athleta are being marginalized and pushed out. It's truly, truly sad to see what is being done to what was a really inspirational place to work and to a wonderful brand. SAD.

Gap has bought this amazing company, and now are in the process of ruining it. They are making it bland and marketing towards younger 'fit girls' and forgetting their core customer. Art Peck has taken a brand that was great, and ruining it trying to make his mark. The catalog used to be inspirational and beautiful, with real athletics but now features skinny models with no muscles and customers are noticing. Employees are overly stressed with the constant changes. Daily someone is breaking down crying and the turn over is demoralizing.
