Company has been going through an identity crisis and hasn't been able to figure out who it is. Constant changes to standards, expectations and directives because of this lack of direction. HR practices are highly unethical. Promotions and transfers within the company require the approval of your supervisor and they have to reach out to the hiring manager on your behalf before you can apply for them (this should be a major red flag at any company). This promotes a nepotism and favoritism in a massive way. Most promotions are selected before the interview process begins. Therefore, you don't really have a choice on where you want to go in the company. They will tell you, and that usually means relocation. Health benefits are sub-par. Inventory levels are way too high, which is either an issue in the buying office or an attempt by Sycamore Partners (the parent company) to make their manufacturing arm look good (most products are manufactured by companies under the same umbrella). Lastly, comp sales have been down year over year for the last several years. Not sure how much longer this company can last.
