Bergdorf Goodman reviews

underpaid and really toxic environment

My department was incredibly toxic, high-school level drama amongst the sales associates over the pettiest things. A lot of bullying from certain associates. Management is incredibly disconnected (or doesn't care) about how things actually work on the floor, but just like to show up once in a while to micro manage. Pay is terrible despite constantly being told in morning meetings how much money our floor was bringing in. They make you wait a year to get promoted out of an assistant position, but then when it comes time its impossible to get any information from HR or actually get moved up. There's VERY clear favoritism from management (they really don't even try to hide it). Benefits weren't good enough to make up for anything. I was essentially doing to the job of a sales associate (the person I assisted was incredibly lazy and passed everything save for making sales on the floor on to me) making someone else a lot of money and getting nothing out of it.
