Glitz on the outside, hard work on the inside.

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

the image, the challenge, the people, reputation and creativity. It's definitely a great place to gain experience and be challenged beyond your wildest dreams. Lots of innovation and energy!

Cons

Very long hours, very competitive people and managers. The philosophy seems to be that if you do a good job, you wont be recognized because you might take it to your head and stop working like a slave. There's not a lot of loyalty and no open door policy.

Pros

I work with really nice people. It is a well respected place to work industry-wide. The people and work are creative creative. The cafe is expensive but has great food.

Cons

They make assistants work crazy hours (9:30a - 7, 9, 12...) and many aren't on staff so they don't get the benefits and protection of staffers.

Pros

the glitz factor. free stuff. always knowing where the good sample sales are. interesting people.

Cons

Hearing about "downsizing" when senior management is still playing Louis 14th with their freebie cars, houses, clothes, trips, and meals. Knowing that the higher you go in management the more free stuff you get, and yet the more money you get. No one seems to notice that this is a little backwards.
