Kate Spade New York reviews

1. It feels very, very corporate because it's owned by Liz Claiborne. Not the Kate Spade from 10 years ago - Kate herself doesn't even have anything to do with the company anymore which many people don't realize. 2. Feels hard to move up unless you put in a LOT of time, and even then the promotions I saw weren't huge. 3. Strong branding can be a negative if you don't live and breathe ks. You have to totally get behind the "schtick." 4. Some very bad seeds employee-wise too, which can cancel out the good ones. 5. Poor pay

Work life balance is non existent, they talk about inclusion and equity constantly but don’t actually live it (lots of politics and clique behaviors) if you are different in any way you are excluded from the “group” and ostracized, lots of favoritism from corporate leaders, insufficient payroll to run the business but workload is high with an enormous amount of expectations (extremely heavy on operations which affects time with customers and with time that could be utilized interacting more with associates) Upper management has zero self awareness, which makes it impossible for them to realize that they are treating those of us in the field differently than corporate partners, it’s very disheartening.
