Pros

The people I worked with at store level

Cons

Bay Area DM is a nightmare of a leader with avoidance and condescending elevated jargon as leadership tools that are both ineffective and demotivating. Senior Management runs the company like an episode of Mean Girls.Corporate level is clueless and disconnected.

Pros

Double discount was great. Mostly offered toward shoes and not the handbags. Found that odd since it started with handbags. Wouldn't you want your employees using the brand's bags? Fun environment to work (as long as you like your co-workers) because of the wall paper and colors. Instantly puts you in a great mood to work.

Cons

Commission structure only started one month before I left, pay raises were not given. Company just wanted to open more stores and not reward it's hard working employees. Keeps employees besides management in the dark about upcoming product and company changes. Not very clear on the steps to move up in the company. Did not receive proper coaching to have an advancing career in the company.
