Came back because it IS a great place to work. Teams that I work with are partnering and collaborative. My immediate management staff is supportive and is forward thinking. Location is easy to get to and design space is clean and plenty. Showrooms are beautiful and make me feel proud of what we’ve created. This company has the perfect balance of corporate and family run feel; Meaning it has lots of structure, but is ultimately run by a family, so it feels personal. The Haddad family that leads is friendly, fair, considers the needs of their employees in situations that arise, and makes the final decision. I find that a a pro since I always know where I stand and that there IS a decision maker. Each team makes its own fun, so the 8:30-5:30 work day is pleasant. We work hard but play hard here. This company is growing exponentially, acquiring more brands and regions- come on over and settle in.
Cons
Calendar needs fine tuning Many cooks in the kitchen Strategies can flip flop Sourcing tends to finalize design At times, Factory capabilities are limited Over development and revisions Summary: Design decisions are by committee and are designed for Mass Retail; if you like high fashion and working in silos- this place isn’t the best fit. Calendar can be a bit of the roller coaster at times, but since we get visibility to it, you can plan for it. Strategies flip flop based on account / Sales needs and the information can cause many revisions. Although I have mentioned cons, the pros listed far outweigh any of these.
