Pros
Solid work throughout the year. All positions are salary. Clothing alowance to purchase suits is helpful.
Cons
No appreciation from upper management. Low salaries and endless overtime that you get paid very little for. Six months of the year you are not allowed to take vacation and when you can you can only take it a week at a time. They refuse to hire the appropriate amount of people to get the job done. Instead they tell you it is your job to work 16 hour days without a break go home for 2 hours and then back to work. This company is so incredibly unfriendly to workers that it has become embarrassing to work for them and enforce their policies. While Swank is not a huge corporation you can tell be the way employees are treated as expendable that that is where they are heading. I can only hope that this is only the case in Chicago.
