sweat shop - Visual Merchandising Manager AKIRA Employee Review

Fun to work, love the clothes

The pay could be better

You can make great connections with customers, selling focused culture.

The most unprofessional company I have ever worked for. They thrive in breaking you down and overworking you. The upper management expects a store to run seamlessly with no store manager or Assistant manager. They run this store like a high school and have unrealistic expectations that need to get met or “the whole team will get replaced”. I noticed early on that this was not a company that I wanted to work for when we had to take mandatory calls that are unpaid, schedules not being completed till the week of and changing last minute, zero positive feedback and constantly receiving rude comments from upper management. Multiple people have quit and or got fired and no one is being replaced is a huge red flag. They pick and choose who they want to hold accountable/fire. So if you aren’t liked you will end up getting fired. Overall not a company that you can have a work life balance in. They want you to eat,sleep,breathe Akira without the right compensation.
