Pros

-There are some great people that work here and is the single greatest attribute of the job. -Decent clothing discount.

Cons

-Limited understanding of regenerative, sustainable or circular design by leadership. -The company boasts sustainability and “people first” claims- but very few people with in the org. have an understanding of circular or true sustainable design. -Pay is lower than industry norm, (some) teams are very understaffed and it is expected to work overtime- bonus and annual review do not reflect any financial merit for over time. -Attitudes from leadership are not inclusive, diverse or anti racist in the look of the brand online and in catalogs. -Promotions from within are non existent. Most people burnout and look for work elsewhere.

Pros

Outerknown has built out its corporate team, and elevated the caliber of talent. It is excited to see the work being done and the direction of the company. There is a real excitement about the direction we are moving in, elevating the women's line, expanding brick-and-mortar retail stores, building out a brand marketing team, invested in an expansive and sophisticated e-commerce team, and more. So excited to be a part of this growing team and organization!!

Cons

Disappointed by past Glassdoor reviews, not sure about their credibility, or the accuracy of statements, but can only speak to my experience which is excited about the potential and future of this brand. A super talented, energized, high performing group, committed to making a difference together.

Pros

Hands down, Outerknown is the worst company with which to do business. Accounts receivable is corrupt and sales reps are terrible with communication. Chaos within the inner circle of Outerknown with many people fired, only to be replaced by other corrupt employees. Clothes poorly made. Their chinos blow out in the crotch, their blanket shirts arrive with cracked or missing buttons, A company that wants to look shiny on the outside but gray on the inside.

Cons

Everything about the company is bad
