Pros

Salary, Benefits, and clothing allowance. You work with great people. The store associates are amazing. THe company knows how to launch a store, quickly, efficiently and beautifully decorated.

Cons

No marketing direction. Leadership and management team does not know how to build a brand in 2015 nor strategize to keep the business running strong to 2020. Over-produce the same clothing year after year. Nothing new. The VP of Ecommerce who used to be there formed a foundation to build growth and a team. If every department could do what she did, they would be much more successful.

Pros

Good benefit & Compensation Hybrid

Cons

The environment feels very chaotic, with teams operating in silos and limited cross-functional communication. There is little to no structured onboarding, documentation, or guidance for new employees, making it difficult to get up to speed. The lack of established processes and clear ownership creates unnecessary confusion, duplicate work, and inefficiencies that impact productivity. There is significant opportunity to improve communication, standardize workflows, and provide better support for new hires.
