Pros
Men's Wearhouse can be a good place to work if you need a job for a couple hours a week and live at home or want a few extra dollars on the weekend. For full-timers, the company offers insurance that, while expensive, offers pretty good coverage. If you make this job the most important thing in your life and are willing to work 50+ hours a week you may see some opportunities for promotion, especially if you are willing to move anywhere in the country at short notice. The pay for a Store Manager is slightly higher than small mall chain stores. Just about anyone can be hired in an entry level position.
Cons
I joined Men's Wearhouse in 2007, back when George Zimmer was still leading the organization. Remember him? You might. He was the guy with the salt-and-pepper beard telling people "You're gonna like the way you look - I guarantee it." That was back in the day when people used to watch TV so you may not remember him. Customers remember him for his tagline. Employees remember him for his attitude about employees. I'll never forget one of my first manager meetings in California. (They used to rent out a little conference property for 3 months every year, and would fly every member of management out there for training and camaraderie - not just the store managers.) He got up on the podium, drink in hand and said "The profits are not the most important thing to me - our people are." He mixed in a few expletives and I was shocked and delighted. His attitude and company culture sealed my loyalty to Men's Wearhouse for almost a decade. A few years later he was pushed out and this led to the slow decline of Men's Wearhouse. Another reviewer mentioned the removal of company events and commissions. I remember the extravagant black tie holiday parties that we would look forward to all year. At these parties Men's Wearhouse would pick several employees and send them to Hawai'i for a week as a thank you, most often for tenure. This showed they cared about how much of their life their employees dedicated to the company. Fast forward a few more years. I will never forget one of the CEOs, Dinesh Lathi, commenting on the importance of tenure, "I don't give a [expletive deleted] about that. I only care about what people can contribute to [the company]." This, in addition to removal of formal training programs, abandonment of the much-celebrated sabbatical program, where employees would get an extra couple weeks of vacation every few years, was a signal that Men's Wearhouse did not value employee culture and was not willing to spend on anything that would distinguish the brand from all the other retailers that are famously terrible places to work. Much more could be said here but I will also note that almost every employee that worked at Men's Wearhouse pre-pandemic has left the company and if you are considering joining this company - please do not. I spent over 15 years of my life here, and they were not all bad, but the last 5 years were not good. Men's Wearhouse is not worth your time as there are plenty of other retailers that attempt to create a positive culture and pay just as well if not more and I regret not leaving sooner. Men's Wearhouse is spending what is left of its customers' good will through shoddy training and unresponsive management.
