Levi Strauss reviews

This company is so chaotic and is by far, the worst retail company I've ever worked for. Upper management lacks any kind of professionalism. Store managers are uneducated, gossip, and overall don't know how to effectively manage a store. Extremely low pay. Rarely received a lunch break, and was forced to work multiple 12 hour days. Not flexible with school at all. I would rather be unemployed, and homeless, than work for this company. Jeans are way overpriced. I used to love Levi's and everything that it standed for, but not now. I will not ever shop at any Levi's location ever again. Almost impossible to move up in this company, but why would anyone even want to? DM's are cut throat and belittle everyone at any chance they get. Things are only getting worse, Levi's needs to realize that they can't keep treating people the way they do. It's all too political too. SM'sill talk very negatively about their DM's, however, speak with them often to gossip about the store.

- Absolutely no work/life balance. The company has done a 360 with regard to this important factor. Used to have flexible schedule with year long "summer hours". Now offered discriminately to employees without equity. 12-14 hour workdays are commonplace. - Little or no "onboarding" or continuing education. "Worker bees" are thrown into the deep end of the pool and expected to keep afloat without a concrete and clearly identified path to success. - Both IT and HR support are outsourced to overseas contractors. The very simplest of tasks or activities are extremely frustrating experience and quite laborious. The company selelcted the least expensive option for HR support and employees must wait up to 72 hours for a reply. - In many areas there is a complete lack of professionalism. Profanity is thrown about casually and loud hip hop is blasted from Designers' desktops. - Extremely "top heavy" and seriously understaffed at "worker bee" level. "House Cleaning" and fat trimming are long overdue at Management/Director and VP level.
