Pros

80% discount. If you're in a management position, you get a decent pay (however I made more working on commission in a sales role prior to Reiss). District Manager and Human Resources Manager are lovely, empathetic people that emphasize fun and success.

Cons

Morale is always extremely low. Everyone has or currently does talk about quitting; even those that work hardest and are the biggest assets to the team. (Though the store opened in June, there are only two full time hires still working for the company, the average period of employment is probably around four months.) Current manager does not believe in promoting from within the store. If you're not in management. You're not well paid and extremely overworked. My current general manager told me straight up that I'm not worth what I'm paid. My old general manager advised me against taking a path towards a position that would have developed my career in the company. Management is too serious and way too private and does not communicate to lower management. I had to do my own research on the product because the company didn't provide sufficient product knowledge. Work flow is very slow and quiet, if customers prefer browsing rather than seriously buying, the associates are held accountable and are written up for not producing sales.

Pros

Great clothes. Employee discount up to 80% off. There aren't too many pros so not much else to say here

Cons

From the VP, to HR, to senior management, they are all racist and don't even try to hide it. If you look a certain way or have a certain type of accent, you are automatically on their bad side. Low pay for a ridiculous amount of workload. Payroll is ALWAYS an issue. False promises. High turnover. Receiving commission is close to impossible. No bonus structure for management. Always have to be dressed in 100% reiss although there is a ridiculously low cap on how much you can spend with your discount depending on your job title. Little to no training for all levels. Poor communication with corporate. Poor direction. Poor marketing. Confused about their clientele. Major favouritism issues.
