Pros

The people who work there at entry level/associate level are awesome and some of the best people you'll work with. They're funny, care about what they do, and there is the potential to make best friends here.

Cons

Overall, I don't advise working at this company. If anything, I am grateful that I worked at Haddad for over 2 years, because if I didn't work at such a terrible company for that long, I wouldn't know how lucky I am to work somewhere else. After leaving Haddad, I am astounded at how much I don't know and haven't learned about the fashion industry. Most of the managers either come from a different company from a lower level and got promoted to Director/VP level at Haddad, or they started at Haddad at the same level as their old company, and got promoted after a year or 2. Either way, they don't know how to manage and could use some serious manager training. There were countless times where I and my coworkers had the finger pointed at us by upper management when we received little to no assistance from our managers, operations, or the people with terrible attitudes at the warehouse, and we're 1 year out of college and expected to know things we were never taught. To sum it up: no flexibility, no training, terrible management, pay wasn't great, shady management, start off your career elsewhere - you'll learn more and be better off in the long run.

Pros

The holiday party. Oh wait, it’s on a Tuesday or Wednesday so no one can truly enjoy themselves, so nevermind! Absolutely no pros.

Cons

If I could change one thing in my life, it would be working at Haddad Brands. Coming straight out of college and it being your first job, you truly have no idea how warped working there is. The delusion and greed of the family should be studied-the workload and how they treat their employees is inhumane and honestly disgusting. A crash course is the hours are 8:30-5:30-giving them an extra hour of your life for absolutely no reason. You’re looked down upon if you take a break or step out, even just for a minute. You sit in a jail cell, with no windows, for 9 hours a day-elbow to elbow with the person next to you-and cameras watching and tracking your every move. The Haddads actively work to fire people (don’t be mistaken I wasn’t one of those people-getting a new job was probably one of the best days of my life)-who they consider to be ‘C Class Players’ which is anyone who doesn’t dedicate blood, sweat, tears and overtime to them. All you do is make them money but when it comes time for raises, promotions, benefits etc., they can’t put their money where their mouth is. The work is genuinely not even close to manageable-no matter how hard you work-and everything is under a microscope and scrutiny. The work from home days that have now dwindled into basically zero is laughable and there is no work life balance whatsoever. Just know that if you work at Haddad, you will be worked like a dog-no ifs, ands or buts.
