Pros

Professional customers looking for quality clothing. Brand new computer systems which took the company out of the age of fax machines. (seriously)

Cons

Since Men's Warehouse has taken over there is zero job security. People getting demoted for no reason with no warning. Also the quality of merchandise has gone downhill, for example $800 suit with a rubber band holding the pants on the hanger. Spending up to an hour waiting on hold to speak with customer service.

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.
