Business Outlook

Pros

Leaders have no clue what they are doing

Cons

Poor communication, regional has no clue how to run a business, lack of guidance and no clear direction. Could do better but they don’t want to make the changes necessary to make a difference in the business

Stella McCartney Response

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am sorry to hear you feel there is a lack of guidance, I would love the opportunity to have a follow-up conversation with you, to understand why you feel this way. Your review mentions you are a current employee and therefore it's even more important we work together to resolve these concerns you have, please can you contact me - glassdoor@stellamccartney.com (Ivy - HR Manager)

Pros

Generally good experience for PR.

Cons

It was a company run by interns.

Stella McCartney Response

Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is great to read that you gained good experience of PR in New York. Having trainees in the business allows people with typically less experience the chance to elevate their expertise and we have great success stories of people who started in junior roles, who have gone on to progress within the company.
