David Yurman reviews

Favoritism/nepotism, mis-management by senior leaders; private company so management can do whatever they want; no structure

The experience working at DY really ranges, depending on the group that you work for. I'd say if you're on the production, merchandising or sourcing side, you might be better off. Stay away from Marketing & PR division at all costs if you can... it's so bad they're known INTERNALLY for being difficult and poorly run -- which really stems from severely underqualified upper management within that group. Most of their senior staff in general do not hold MBAs and often times lack relevant "big picture" experience AND leadership qualities that are necessary to successfully grow incremental revenue and keep their staff motivated and inspired. Although the company will continue to grow due to the fact they continue to produce beautiful designs, it is simply a logistical and organizational nightmare. It's truly a shame because the Yurmans are lovely people, but they simply are not aware of how their organization is being run. There is a weekly smoke and mirror show that gets put on for them by the very people they trust. Their HR team is one of the most unreliable and unprofessional I've encountered in my career. There tends to be a lack of cohesion among the various groups.
