Pros

Levi Strauss is a one-of-a-kind company with a compelling history, an iconic brand and strong core values. We take care of our employees and have genuine concern and empathy for others.

Cons

Slow processes, too much bureaucracy, lack of communication and understanding between all levels of employees, our corporate environment doesn't reflect our brand image. We need to move faster and "walk the talk". We say we want to enforce a work/life balance, but yet we don't consistently implement or support that notion with actions. We say we want to be the best - but there is a lack of passion and excitment in our environment - in order to be the best and to win you need to be fired up and inspired - we are lacking that fire.

Pros

This is a company where the core values are wonderful, but the ownership and execution of those values frequently falls short. The history and community involvement of this company are what sets it apart from it's peers. Levi's has terrific product and enormous brand value.

Cons

Some North American and Dockers managers and leaders do not engage with consumers and customers. Failure to hold managers accountable for listening to peers and making decisions that are informed and executable. Very political, and slow to react to market trends and efficiencies. Leadership is very fond of catch-phrases.

Pros

Nice place for work/life balance. Corporate has the right intentions in terms of trying to promote a healthy and inspired work environment. Well respected company that opens doors once on your resume. Employees are dedicated and hard-working.

Cons

Senior Management is completely unaware (or just disinterested) of how disfunctional and unhappy most employees are in the day to day. Very little chance for development and career coaching. If you like playing the corporate politics game, you may do well here. If you're more interested in doing really good work and trying to learn and continue development, you'll stay in the same position for, well, forever. Most people have been in their positions for way, way to long.
