Pros

they give a fifty per cent discount on their over priced apparel.

Cons

human resources and upper management have no people skills or HR experience. very unkind treatment to store managers. very biased. discriminates against age, race and gender. katie spade would be mortiified if she knew how fifth and pacific, who now owns kate spade, treated her prior staff. they falsify records and ride you to resign. an absolute shame. they have no morales.

Pros

I love that company offers wellness days and other benefits to focus on your mental health. I also like how there’s more training outlets for leadership and stylist.

Cons

The only con I would say is having an extra layer up for mental health insurance for stylist

Pros

Majority of cross-functional team members are great to work with, toxic behavior is rarely tolerated.

Cons

Back to back deadlines No time for vacations (deadlines also consistently shift, making it difficult to pre-plan vacations that aren't a 3 day weekend) No growth/promotions (even when you've been handling tasks that were your boss's job for 4 years) Underpaid and overworked
