Pros
- Made some great friends - Starting salary OK if you ask for it, depending on department - Somewhat flexible - Mostly easy going with mistakes - OK to gain some experience for a year or two but then move on - the role does not lead anywhere
Cons
- Pay increase minimal/non existent - Promotions usually lead to termination/being forced out - Benefits are not great - no RRSP/Pension/Vision/etc. Some people have better benefits than others. - Too many cooks in the kitchen - 3 owners and like 10 managers/VPs/leads to manage 25 product creators - Process is way too complicated for scale and type of business. Too many ongoing projects and no organization to help manage - insane workload, even for the fashion industry. - Toxic environment, no transparency, gossiping starts from management and trickles down. Teams throw each other under the bus. Some sales people scream/swear/slam doors/send rude emails. One woman micromanages and harasses junior staff like crazy and owners are aware but do not take action. - Office stayed open for most of pandemic- WFH meant 50% salary cut - Not an equal opportunity employer. Favouritism and opinions based on appearance, ethnicity, religious groups etc. Has treated some pregnant women very unfairly.
