Pros

Well it's not like in 2014 or before, suit tie and shoes. Nowadays? Jeans, no tie, sleeves rolled up, vest or sweater.....woooow! No comments on present representing this company.

Cons

Mergers are the killer of an entity, that's exactly what happened to this company, the image of being reputable trashed overnight, let me start by addressing the top notch people of who is known to the world as Tailored Brands, get your heads out of your rear ends, while you all sit on your comfy leather chairs and proclaim that you guys are doing a great job, is not because of you, its because the amount of unfairly paid individuals working day in and day out to make a half decent paycheck, without the sellers you're nothing as a company. Paying 5 dollars an hour plus commission would be a great deal in a store that produces a revenue of 10 thousand dollars a day, let's be realistic, no where in the USA region. Right?.... Pay a fair rate to your employees, you're losing all of them. My next remarks are to the Multi units managers known as District Managers. Do you guys actually think about going somewhere with this shaky company? Do you even have the proper training on hiring and maintaining a safe environment for all parties. I highly doubt that. SE4 known as the "Quartarella Zone" is the most ridiculous zone director I had ever worked for. Disrespectful with his employees calling them "useless" and "10 yrs old".......don't let me go on, the list is long. A company that is putting loads of work on stores that only have 2 or 3 employees. No one has a life while working under these conditions. There are tons of tasks they demand by due dates, but they're quick saying we can't hire anymore. It's all on your shoulder. If you cannot do it, someone else will. Well, some younger guy fresh out of college who doesn't even know the difference between his left and right testicles....if he has any that is!!!!. People wake up and smell the coffee. It'll be too late by the time Chapter 11 is about to knock at your front door. 🤔

Horrible company

Pros

Good place to network

Cons

Absolutely impossible to use vacation time. The expectations on what you should be able to accomplish vs how many payroll hours the store is given to use is laughable. Doesn't pay out unused vacation time upon departure anymore. Since it's almost impossible to use, it's basically stealing from employees. Upper management has absolutely no clue or care about the challenges we face at the store level. Forced to work when by my doctor said I couldn't work. It's impossible to find good employees because of the well known issues within the company. They close locations with very little notice given to the employees. That's a process that requires a lot of planning. I will never be convinced that more than 2 week notice couldn't be given to the staff so they can find a new job.

Pros

I loved the majority of the people I worked with. When the money was good, it was great. I got to know the regulars and loved spending time with my customers.

Cons

The company doesn't care about its employees. They find every way possible to hurt them financially. I made less than minimum wage some weeks and was not given my 30+ hours of vacation pay after I put in my two weeks notice. The employee discount dropped twice in the time I was there. The managers are allowed to hire their own children and upper management couldn't care less about problems the associates have. Employees are seen as easily replacable.
