Pros

The company has an amazing focus on social and environmental responsibility. They have a nice work-life balance for employees. People are friendly. The offices are attractive. Some of your pay comes in clothes and benefits like getting health and wellness activities and educational activities paid for by the company.

Cons

The company does not do well hiring or promoting the right people into management positions, leading to a lack of mid-level leadership and frustration all around. They're famous for "collaborative work processes" but that really means inefficient work processes and an all-around aversion to change. And those non-salary benefits - well you'd be better off with a higher salary. Also they are located in Irvington, NY, which is nice if you live in Westchester and have a family, but is not great if you are young and want to be in an urban environment and live in NYC. And lastly a lot of people at the top of the company are just Eileen's old cronies and don't seem to belong in the fashion industry - they seem to muck things up at the top and are generally frustrating to work for.
