      Pros

      Good quality clothing, helps you train, and role play. Also, they don't seem to be pushy or hard when it comes to not meeting sales goals. they try to be fair.

      Cons

      The managers seem to hire teh same gender for one particular department and its hard to get into the other departments. They also dont like to keep temporary employees and they have associates taht may not like you to begin with.

      Great Environment, Poor Management

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you are interested in any high fashion apparel and couture, this is the best place to work! You get to experience first hand what your buyers are looking for in todays fashion and you see a representation of that at the store. The employees are extremely kind and are genuinely out there to help you. Also, the Human Resource teams are always fabulous and extremely understanding and have a good knowledge of what the company stands for.

      Cons

      The management is extremely disrespectful to their employees and have absolutely no understanding towards them. Management also tends to gossip about their employees to other fellow employees which always ends up causing disputes. Favoritism is a huge problem and if you can not handle a cut throat environment for your bosses preference, this is not the place to work. In addition, be very careful of your fellow employees, even if they act as your friend, they will scheme behind your back the first chance they get.
