Levi Strauss reviews

Every department at LS&Co. has a different culture. I can't speak for the organization as a whole, but for me, the culture on the retail operations team was toxic. It was highly elementary and unbelievably catty. Sadly, this was due to a few females who were very insecure on what they deemed "the leadership team." Nothing screams great leadership more than a self proclaimed leader... It's safe to say the politics were next level beginning with middle management. In order to build themselves up, they created a hierarchy that deflated engagement, dissolved collaboration, and made for an unenjoyable work environment. Any top talent lasted two years at most before fleeing the coop. What could be an amazing company to work for is diluted with insecure leaders who have moved up, not because of talent, but because of enslaving individual contributors and organizational shifts... aka a whole lot of luck. Beware.

Working for Levi's is like being in a semi-abusive relationship. You really care about the company, your work and what you do and it really does seem like it cares bout you too, but then you're constantly getting in fights, you have to settle for situations you don't approve of and bend over backwards at any given moment to get something stupid done that they swear is 'business critical' that ends up not even mattering or actualizing in the end. And then you just keep going back because you care too damn much to leave.
