Burberry reviews

1. Company plays heavy politics and favoritism; if you are liked by senior leaders you'll be first in line for the next promotion. You can even be moved/promoted every 6 months if you are liked a lot! 2. Plays lip service to DEI, where director and above levels are mostly white. 3. Employees are strung along for open positions for promotion; I was overlooked once b/c it wasn't the right time and my team couldn't lose me and another employee was overlooked 3x with no reason why. This despite being encouraged to apply/interview. 4. THEY DO NOT promote into merchandising from within; their logic is they want previous luxury brand experience (Gucci, LV, etc)...but their own employees knowing the brand, product, history, and having relationships with stores don't count. 5. Pay is below market; "we pay a premium, in a lower salary, to work for Burberry", something I heard a manager said. 6. Some senior leaders are known and have been seen berating direct reports with no consequence.

The most insanely lazy associates I’ve ever worked with. All they care about is commission so they don’t care about how the floor looks when they’re done which makes the store look terrible on a busy day. They don’t put things where they go so it makes things difficult for other associates to find products they need which makes the customer wait even longer. Bad for customer experience! In addition, the favoritism was so visible. People who deserved promotions were given crappy excuses while new (lazy) people moved up in ranks. If they know you’re leaving, they will push you out and start bringing up things to get you fired.
