Pros

The clothes are trendy, and occasionally you’ll get a free sample

Cons

This job was a nightmare from day one. The company thrives on chaos, disorganization, and blatant disrespect for their employees. The toxic environment caused numerous employees to fall physically ill due to the overwhelming stress and unrealistic demands. The leadership is clueless, out of touch, and driven by vanity projects that drain resources and demoralize the team. They constantly overextend themselves on frivolous expenses (luxury events, excessive travel, and overpriced “brand image” stunts) while neglecting to pay fair wages. Management expects you to work around the clock while refusing to provide basic support or acknowledgment. Employees are forced to juggle multiple roles, often with no training, leading to burnout and frequent mistakes. Layoffs are constant, with no rhyme or reason, and retaliation is the norm if you dare to speak up. HR? Nonexistent. Workplace hygiene? A joke—working conditions are filthy with bugs and roaches everywhere in the office.

Pros

I've worked for the company for over 2+ years now, and I can say without a doubt, this is the best job I've ever had. Working at Miaou has allowed me to learn about so many different aspects of running a fashion business. Have there been challenging moments? OF COURSE, it's a job! I really appreciate how the founders have supported my journey at this company, from starting off at a very junior level to now managing an entire department. It's very simple, show up, do the best work you can do, don't push back, but instead think of every opportunity to learn something new. Once I figured all of that out, my time at Miaou has been incredible. I am so lucky to be surrounded by supportive, creative individuals that think outside the box. To anyone who's interested in working in fashion or starting their own business, this is the place for you. You will learn more than you ever could at a large corporate company doing one focused job. 10/10 would recommend! Come join our team!!

Cons

Sometimes you have to work longer hours (but that would be the same anywhere - it's a job!), and sometimes my responsibilities fall a bit out of my original scope, but again, I think of those moments as opportunities to learn and grow.

Pros

Office snacks and clothing allowance, but that’s about it.

Cons

By far the worst company I’ve ever worked for. Don’t be fooled by the positive reviews here—they’re fake, written by friends and family of the founders. This is a company led by childish, immature, and petty individuals who show zero respect for their employees. Expect to be overworked, burned out, and still be asked to work around the clock with no appreciation or support. The founders hire their friends and family, paying them two to three times the salary of regular employees, and give them all kinds of leeway on deadlines and expectations. Meanwhile, if you're a regular employee, there is absolutely no room for error. They treat you like you're disposable, and one mistake can lead to being dismissed without hesitation. It’s a toxic environment where your value is entirely ignored, and the leadership is far more concerned with their own egos than the people who actually keep the business running. It’s clear that leadership has no real understanding of how to run a business or manage people effectively. Save yourself the stress—this company is a disaster and on the brink of collapse.
