A Mess - Anonymous employee J. Mendel Employee Review

This job was my favorite during my career in fashion. They gave me freedom to learn and grow and working with Mr. Mendel was amazing. I bounced from department to department until I found that I loved development so they created a position for me in fabric R&D and I wanted to help in production so they added a few more responsibilities there. Everything was on my own terms which was surprising for a brand like that

Very fast paced so not for everyone

Throughout my internship at J. Mendel I was given a lot of responsibility each day. This ranged from keeping track of the samples, to preparing them for trunk shows. I was also given orders to go over, and various projects to work on as they came up. I was never bored or felt I was wasting my time as there was always something I could be doing. My supervisors were not only fun to work with, but fostered an educational environment. Questions are always welcomed, and everyday I continue to learn something new.

As the wholesale department is constantly meeting deadlines, this work environment is very fast paced. Everyday is not necessarily calm, but I personally preferred this.
