Pros

Most of the people who work here are great. There’s a cafeteria and gym on-site.

Cons

Salary employees are treated like slaves. Expected 12-16 hour work days and constant work load increase despite that. Most teams are severely understaffed but positions are not open to fill them, instead they rely on underpaid salary employees to fill the gap. Salaries are grossly under market-value for the same position.

Great Intentions, Understaffed and Highly micromanaged

Business Outlook

Pros

They have a lot of wonderful offerings for the communities they manufacture clothes and have a really pleasant client base for the most part. They promote from within and send you lots of clothing items. They have a great training program that gets an insane amount of information over mutiple platforms rather quickly. No one works weekends and there is always an opportunity for overtime when you are trained. Everything shut down at 5 pm pst except for the warehouse. Most coworkers and management are pretty kind and helpful.

Cons

There is a very whitewashed culture that is super focused on stats and times. This is basically a customer service job that pays way too little for the amount of training and the hyper management of minutes they insist on. There is little to no flexibility with shift times. This is a very corporate gig no matter how folksy they act, it's pretty strict.

Pros

Co-workers. Food services on premises. Nice building. Friendly people. Ample parking.

Cons

Pay is lower than industry standard. Non existent maternity leave policy. Little chance for raise. Hard to support a family. Many of us work an extra part-time job to compensate for the low pay which makes it tough to always give your best. Family appears accessible but really aren’t. Unless you are senior management. All of which are white.
