Part of Tapestry

Engaged Employer

Positive job performances overlooked; instead, upper management focuses on appearance, race and personal life. - Store Manager Kate Spade New York Employee Review

Pros

High energy, fun atmosphere. Encourages new ideas.

Cons

If you don't look like a model and fall between the age of 21-35, you just don't fit, no matter your skills and talents. Way too much focus is placed on looks, attire and personal style. It's as if they want their retail environments to look like a slick magazine ad.

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
