Pros

A great way to work in the fashion industry, undeniable access and exciting work.

Cons

If you are rich, white or in upper management you can get away with racism, classism and being bad at your job. If you are young, starting out and do not come from privilege, nobody supports you getting ahead.

Pros

Outside of senior management, there are many talented, diverse, and interesting people to learn from. That said, working here can be a resume builder for a year or two but don't count on much longer than that. It's not somewhere that talented young people should plan on building their careers. Even if you don't mind the toxic, directionless corporate culture, the re orgs and layoffs come so often that the anxiety of staying isn't worth it.

Cons

New CEO has been here for over a year but hasn't done anything. Lots of talk about introducing a new strategy but so far only new executive hires and more C-suite bloat. Majority white dudes (really uninspiring). They will probably blame coronavirus for failure to balance the budget, which is a shame, because a reckoning was on it's way before the pandemic hit.

Pros

* some really talented, bright, amazing people work here, and at this point, bar COVID19, that's the only thing keeping me here * flexible working * nice office

Cons

* abysmal pay, even by industry standards * no career progression, or pay increases unless you fight for them * frequent layoffs * hire, promotion and salary freezes * very unequal benefits across the different markets, and a lack of effort to even them out by the ELT * lack of diversity is constantly being excused by leadership * fun story: when asked at one town hall "why should anyone stay here as morale is so low", the answer from the CEO was "well maybe you shouldn't, if you don't like change, just leave". encouraging. * I could go on
