Pros

Great pay. Never ask for minimum wage. Always work to do, if you're the type to get bored. Very flexible shifts.

Cons

New dress code enacted in August of 2016. Requiring all employees to wear only a navy top and chinos/dark denim. Idiocrity. Keep note Ralph himself no longer oversees this company as he did. And now, it's closing stores and ruining its image. No longer has the feel of Polo Ralph Lauren. Just a company ghosting the values and style that was once the world of Ralph Lauren.

Pros

I was retired for years from my Corporate job. Decided that I wanted a part time job to get out of the house. This was my “Happy Place”. Never had a job that I loved so much. Worked hard, had the best customers (loyal) co workers. I learned so much about fashion and dressing different body types. I’ve been in different stores since I left as a customer buying myself clothes. Several ladies came up to me to ask how I am doing this! You’re wonderful at putting things together. I actually helped them put together wardrobes from what I learned. I felt an immense proudness working for RL. I still do. My managers were great and wouldn’t ask you to do anything they wouldn’t. Best of all is the discounts. After almost 5 years of working there, I realized it cost me money to work there. Lol. I’m a clothes nut. I never ever left a shift without a brown paper bag with a Polo Horse on it.

Cons

Some employees are very cut throat about individual sales. We were NOT on commission. Some employees just need to calm down and realize that we work as a team. Most do, but a few bad apples. Not much.
