Pros

The culture is great. We are surrounded by smart, creative and inspiring people but the constant change in leadership, process and the lack of consistency in decision making and point of view causes a ton of unnecessary spin. There a ton of talent so I have no doubt that Levi's could be great.

Cons

There is no training or clarity in roles. It is a sink or swim environment, so unless you are a go-getter and not afraid to build relationships on your it is easy to get lost. In Merchandising, the hours can be unpredictable so it is at time hard to have a healthy work-life balance but it also depends on your team environment. The company has been through about 3-4 re-orgs in the past 3 years so there has been no chance to actually get into a rhythm with ways of working and process.
