Pros

Great discounts, the chance to receive lots of free items, super cool team, and 25 days of PTO for full-time positions.

Cons

No PTO offered for part-time employees (even if the store closes during one of your scheduled shifts), abysmal associate pay, inconsistent hours and scheduling, occasional late nights, anything involving HR usually has extreme delays, no urgency on corporate/managements part regarding HR issues/hiring/transferring, very poor communication across the board.

Pros

None. The quality of clothing has changed so not even the discount is worth it anymore

Cons

Management is very lazy throughout the whole district. They love to just be in the office. Training is horrible. Company policies mean absolutely nothing because we had a SUPERVISOR who would smoke weed on the job and all upper management and employees knew and yet nothing was done. I’m sure it was because she was WHITE and if it was any other person of color there would be a different situation. This employee was lacked work ethic as well and would go multiple times to the back to smoke. Many complaints were made and yet nothing was done and instead other employees had to pick up the slack. But that seems to be the trend at madewell. Don’t expect to work with a team because the leave out to dry always and you’ll be working hard for no reason.
