Too far gone.

Pros

After the merger with Men's Warehouse, some of the back-of-house systems are more accurate. POS system is better as well.

Cons

Company is being run by mediocre middle managers at best. The sales, profits and stock price are proof of the mismanagement. The smug execs at MW thought they were the smartest people in retail. They've bankrupted two companies and put a thousand people out of work.

Pros

Professional customers looking for quality clothing. Brand new computer systems which took the company out of the age of fax machines. (seriously)

Cons

Since Men's Warehouse has taken over there is zero job security. People getting demoted for no reason with no warning. Also the quality of merchandise has gone downhill, for example $800 suit with a rubber band holding the pants on the hanger. Spending up to an hour waiting on hold to speak with customer service.

Replacing current employees

Pros

55% discount on clothing no discount on sale items, however every three weeks the store will run 60% discount for customers and this is better than your employee discount. 3 years ago this was a good company to work for but since Tailored Brands has purchased the company they have ran it into the ground. They are rebranding stores and removing all Jos. A. Bank logos from walls and any areas that used to display the store name. Now all store branding inside the store is on paper signs. This will help in selling the stores since the new purchasing company will not have to remodel to remove the store logo and branding.

Cons

Employee discount used to be up to 85% off but now reduced to 55% and only on non-sale items. All sale items no discount. Commissions have been reduced and some have been taken away completely. Incentives have been removed. The company is hiring nationwide for Store Manager Trainees because they are replacing current store managers with ones that are willing to work for a lower wage. Then they are replacing those employees with employees that are willing to work for an even lower wage, etc. You get the idea ... No work balance. You will be expected to work 60 hours a week as Store Manager. Current store managers were mostly hourly paid so this did mean some great overtime, however, all new store managers are being paid salary which means no overtime pay. Sorry guys! Staffing is a problem. With all the pay changes your store personnel can make more money working at Dunkin Donuts so turnover is high and retention is poor.
