Pros

-Great people! -Great discount(50% off FP, 20% on sale... even better discount when they do employee appreciation) -Great Benefits -They have some amazing people who work here whom are dedicated, loyal, and charismatic!

Cons

-Work environment -Turnaround with Management -Turnaround with employee -minimum wage for associate - due to negative reviews on Glassdoor the company wanted management to”possibly” write positive reviews. -due to covid everyone received a 20% salary decrease which seems will be indefinite,everyone was paid for vacation and personal days and will no longer be able to earn vacation, sick, personal. - all District boutique managers were let go. - 3 senior Managers like MK, John idol, and etc donated One million each to covid the day before they furloughed all employees and read us a prepared speech they then wanted us to read to fellow employees after saying they didn’t know what their plan was.... ha!great PR! -MK believes in a bottom line and reaching it!

Thank you for your hard work and dedication. The decision to terminate any employee as a result of this global crisis was not one that we took lightly. As a company we are doing our best to navigate the profound and unprecedented changes resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We value our employees and understand that they are the key to our success. Again, thank you for your service to the company and we wish you the very best. - Michael Kors Human Resources

Pros

At one point it was the discounts til they changed the policies up during my fifth (and final year at the store). Aside from that, working with my fellow colleagues were the ones responsible for keeping the work environment together and made the experience much more fun and bearable.

Cons

As a part-timer, there's no benefits or any additional incentives. They'll "reduce your hours" if you're not meeting sales "expectations" by zoning you in different parts of the store that doesn't have a lot of foot traffic (i.e. cashier or front of house). Depending on who you work with on the management side of things... this job can make or break you. Last group of managers I had were NOT the most ideal examples when you give them "actionable feedback" and not follow through with their expectations.
