Even though it is not a good review, it is good to hear from you over 6 years later. I know when going on glassdoor for the first time, to see reviews, you need to write some. I am assuming that is why we are seeing a review from an experience more than half a decade ago. I can tell you that in the last 6 years, we have had a LOT of change that you are not aware of. I will start by saying that I am sorry that our old environment was not a good fit for you. While I’m sorry that you did not have a good experience, I do not know how to address something that long ago except to say, we look pretty different today, and I am not aware of "clicks" or "mean people" today. You reference a design and sales department, but that department has not existed in almost 7 years. Currently, we have a pre-sales PM department and a separate sourcing department. I can tell you that our current team is smart, collaborative, and care a great deal about one another. I invite you to check out our Instagram post recently. The post is from a member of the team in a department that is similar to the one where you worked. I’m sorry for your experience and wish you all the best with your next employer. I urge you to give them feedback earlier since so much changes over the years, and many are like us and like the feedback so we can hear people and make changes if needed. Mikey

Pros

Benefits, 401 K Matching, nap room

Cons

No maternity leave, Leadership is so far removed from day to day there is a mass lack of support & micro-mismanaging. no annual raise or available incentives to grow within the company. no connectivity between departments. & lack or organization & standard operating procedures. When employees try to improve working conditions they are seen as the problems instead on the things they are trying to fix. Burn out is the common thread in this company. it is about the bottom line and not the employees.

You and I only got to know each other a little in your short time here. Your review is pretty strong, so I do feel I should address a few things. I appreciate you noting our employee benefits of 75% employer-paid health insurance, excellent 401(k) match, 10 paid holidays and up to 21 days PTO. It appears these did not meet your expectations but I do believe they are competitive in the marketplace. . Our Textile Design team is amazingly talented, energized and meeting high customer demands daily. We have very strong retention with this team. Our annual raises and bonuses are amongst the highest in the industry each year. The only reason you would not qualify for one is if you were not meeting performance expectations. We all have a role in that, and the team has huge opportunity with raises, bonuses, and professional growth. I would like to add, since you wrote "sinking ship" that 2023 was one of our strongest years, and I measure that in people, process, environment, and profit. We wish you all the best as you pursue your next professional experience. Mikey
