Pros

55% discount on clothing no discount on sale items, however every three weeks the store will run 60% discount for customers and this is better than your employee discount. 3 years ago this was a good company to work for but since Tailored Brands has purchased the company they have ran it into the ground. They are rebranding stores and removing all Jos. A. Bank logos from walls and any areas that used to display the store name. Now all store branding inside the store is on paper signs. This will help in selling the stores since the new purchasing company will not have to remodel to remove the store logo and branding.

Cons

Employee discount used to be up to 85% off but now reduced to 55% and only on non-sale items. All sale items no discount. Commissions have been reduced and some have been taken away completely. Incentives have been removed. The company is hiring nationwide for Store Manager Trainees because they are replacing current store managers with ones that are willing to work for a lower wage. Then they are replacing those employees with employees that are willing to work for an even lower wage, etc. You get the idea ... No work balance. You will be expected to work 60 hours a week as Store Manager. Current store managers were mostly hourly paid so this did mean some great overtime, however, all new store managers are being paid salary which means no overtime pay. Sorry guys! Staffing is a problem. With all the pay changes your store personnel can make more money working at Dunkin Donuts so turnover is high and retention is poor.

Pros

Decent company that is ahead of the game in many aspects of the retail world: Constant training for all types of job skills, high profitability for a brick and mortar retail chain, and focus on diversity and making sure the right people are in the job, simplified and standardized visual standards for the whole company.

Cons

-“Pay scales” make it so more tenured employees could be making up to several dollars per hour less than new and untrained employees. The solution to this is “don’t talk about pay”. You can make more by being fired and re-hired than getting a raise. -Upper Management has become nothing but micromanaging. Many tasks of local management is pointless busy-work. -Store Leaders have zero say in random merchandising choices, leading to useless and unpopular products that do not sell because buying teams for Jos A Bank need to be fired. -Declining quality of products accompanied with increase in price that is noticeable to customers. -Zero advertising to new customers. -Brand is considered secondary to the primary brand of the parent company, Men’s Wearhouse, so remodels, new fixtures, etc are not prioritized for the Jos A Bank brand.
