Pros

It opens many door using TF name. Suppliers wants to work for you in order to be able to share this about themselves when looking for other work. There was hardly a budget to adhere to and you get to work with beautiful things

Cons

Infinite long hours- very abusive behaviour from some managers in higher ranks followed by little respect for people emotions and work too sometimes. I left with a severe depression developed at the time I worked there and years later I still can’t shake off the awful human experience I had. It’s all about who you are who do you know and where do you go. If it’s cool then you’re part of the gang if not, your life will be miserable . No HR to talk about any issues

Pros

There are many pros to working for TF including the selling commission structure and monthly tiered bonuses, beautiful products and dedicated clientele. Work/life balance is what you make of it depending on your boutique hours. I was never overwhelmed by the workload. TF is a global brand and the beauty portion has a high focus and awareness bringing in the foot traffic for quick sales between appointments. Discount is generous but capped dollar amount per year.

Cons

Upper management is delusional when it comes to increasing business by setting unachievable goals without the proper tools and resources. Extremely limited stock, zero technology and other boutiques refusing to transfer merchandise. Store level management is uninterested in driving the business but would rather spend all day off the sales floor to avoid associates/customers. Management enjoys favoritism, choosing to ostracize employees who voice concerns about business and policy abiding. Managers avoid confrontation at all costs whether between associates, customer issues or monthly touch bases. Human Resources is a new concept to the company and it shows. Extreme lack of support and pointless conversations.
