Pros
You learn a lot. Not just about the industry and the inner workings of the apparel business but also about your self worth and a company's willingness to take advantage of their employees. There is much opportunity to learn because its a very sink or swim environment. You'll be able to do a lot of things outside of your job description but with very high expectations and very little training. The team you end up on and the manager you have will really make or break the experience.
Cons
Anyone who's ever worked at Haddad Brands will tell you that the overall company moral is very.... very low. No matter how "valuable" you think you are to the company there's always a chance of you coming in only to find out "you're being let go". It's a sick joke almongt the entire staff including upper management. There are a lot of psycological games that the company uses against their employees to ensure they know there is no sense of security. Abruptly switching your desk to another floor or area, changing you to another team, not allowing employees to eat lunch together inside the office, or even just completely changing all of your job responsibilities without any prior warning. It's a very uncomfortable place to work. Unhappy employees, high stress and little reward for efforts. Not to mention that the employees are bombarded with such unreasonable workloads and then told they cannot work overtime or in some instances they just won't get paid the overtime. It's very common to see employees clock-out for the day only to stay for another 3-4 hours just so they can catch up on all their work without getting in trouble with HR. ZERO care for work-life balance. Z E R O.
