Express reviews

Don’t come in trying to bust your butt trying to make changes and get people to do work. It’s a waste of time. It’s retail and you have to accept that they only move when they have to. They are reactive. They have “It’s always been done this way attitude”. See above. Senior management doesn’t really have clear directives for managers beneath them. There needs to be a directive that all departments work together towards. They are so focused on the sales side. Company makes poor financial decisions. They bought a company for millions of dollars who I’ve yet to figure out how it helps them. They are just as expensive. All the while struggling financially. See 150 people laid off in a day or more. They are going to cut so much of their workforce at some point and eventually shoot themselves in the foot since there isn’t any help. Their price point is weird. They are good clothes but sort of fits younger professional niche. There really isn’t much of a market for decent clothes below Express’ cost. They could lower prices or run better deals. People with money can spend slightly more and get higher end brands that fit their look.

Difficult to get promoted. Poor management in some departments.
