Business Outlook

Pros

Each department has a very entrepreneurial approach to things, and sometimes great deals come out of this. Free refreshments and snacks in the kitchen. Free sample giveaways...wild, but free. Quality holiday parties. "Stock" options. Employee discounts across the portfolio of brands. Good people with mid-level director roles genuinely trying to make the best with what they’re working with. Hybrid work from home schedule (Summer 2022)

Cons

Much of senior management would barely qualify as Director anywhere else Ranks are filled with tons of B-players that think they’re A-players ...(A-players go to real companies like Inditex, LVMH & Tapestry) Below average pay for New York City Nepotism & cheapness

May seem like the best in the industry but it’s the opposite

Pros

Diverse brand portfolio Working with cross functional teams Summer fridays early dismissal Free unhealthy snacks

Cons

Favoritism DO exist here - that’s the truth all other reviews here that says the opposite is NOT true If you are Canadian and related to the owner then you’ll have a VP title in no time Career growth only exists depending on you work with Companies give title change (from Director to Senior Director to VP in less than a year) to those who they favor. Those titles are earned in many years by many in the industry. Pay is low unless you are related to the owner of course (you’ll be a VP at the age of 25 if the management favors you!)
