Pros

really creative environment when i started several years ago it has been going swiftly downhill.

Cons

hundreds of competing priorities all of which are given the same importance. top, top leadership can't prioritize. collections are continually reworked and dropped. design, pd, factories are burnt out. label has gotten away form it's roots and is trying to be too fashion and too trendy. business is down as a result. buddy culture is a load of crap. they say they have these lofty values and they promote people turning on each other, backstabbing, running to HR. HR is the worst.

Pros

• Strong brand recognition and a loyal customer base. • Employee discount and sample sales are excellent perks. • Talented and hardworking teams across many functions.

Cons

• Work-life balance is extremely challenging, particularly at the leadership level. Long hours and constant availability are often expected rather than the exception. • The culture can feel transactional and driven by a "got you" mentality rather than collaboration, coaching, and development. • Favoritism and nepotism are noticeable and can create inconsistent standards across teams and individuals. • Leadership accountability is lacking. Expectations are often high, but accountability is not always applied equally across the organization. • Decision-making can feel political, with perception carrying more weight than actual performance or results. • There is a significant gap between the company's external messaging and the internal employee experience. While the brand publicly champions women and female empowerment, many employees may find that the internal culture does not consistently reflect those values in practice. • Transparency, integrity, and trust can be lacking, which contributes to an environment where employees may feel unsupported or undervalued.
