Great idea, poor execution - Anonymous employee Fashion Project Employee Review

Fashion Project has a great atmosphere with a brilliant technical team.

Moving of the company to a difficult location for transportation.

Great product, cool co-workers, manicures on Fridays...

My time at Fashion Project was a serious challenge, and not just because I was lifting some seriously heavy stuff. Making $10 an hour is unethical, especially coming from a company that is allegedly a "force for good". Even with great employee discounts, it was nearly impossible to survive off the wages. I took this job due to the fact that the fashion industry is far from striving in Boston, I wanted to make my mark. I don't regret working here, I learned a lot, but once the catered lunches were taken away it felt like there were no benefits left. There is no "work life balance" when you cant afford to have a life.
