Pros
Great Luxury Brand with worldwide recognition, and a premier player across the retail landscape. The Brand is well respected, and because of this, the employees and their are typically held in high regard with the account partners, and customers. Experienced some positive professional growth and advancement opportunities throughout my career. Had the chance to meet and work with some extraordinarily talented people.
Cons
Over the years, Management continued to become more and more disconnected with the realities of managing the business. Layering on additional accountabilities without additional access to resources to achieve collective goals. Some bad decisions have been made over the years that likely led up to the recent global reorganization and the elimination of 1,000 jobs, and countless talented individuals. Like most of Corporate America - if you did not play in the politics, you were not part of the "in-crowd". There is an ongoing propensity to promote those that may not have been the most qualified for the role, but were instead close to the senior team, further illustrating displays of favoritism over quality work product.
