Pros

Levi's has always had a great culture among the low/mid tier level employees. Some of the nicest, creative people you will ever meet. The company has a lot history of doing the right thing. The benefits and the 401k matching program are great.

Cons

The leader of merchandising always responds negatively to feedback, hypersensitivity is a sign of a true narcissist . Always has an obsequious and sycophantic posse around, serving him in ways that made him feel much more powerful and competent than he is. Money is spent on useless trips and parties, rather than development of employees. Engagement survey is lower than all other departments in company, advice was that it was worse at other companies. To survive in the environment its all about office politics and nothing about the results or the value you bring to a team.
