Pros

Discounts and sample sales, steady income, coworkers, health insurance ( although that has gotten bad in the past couple years). Thats it

Cons

Work culture. As with most fashion companies, who you know takes you further. Unfortunately, the division of work is extremely lopsided depending on the department. Also, you cannot trust anything HR or upper management say and always have to dig deeper to get a straight/ completely truthful answer. The HR dept at Ralph Lauren is not there to help you but rather protect the company.

Disappointing upper management...

Pros

The people ( NOT executive/senior mgt staff) are incredible. I worked in women's design for four years and made some of the best friends I'll ever have. Also, people OUTSIDE of the fashion industry are always impressed when they find out you work there

Cons

Nepotism! Also, I watched men get promoted and paid more routinely. No exaggeration- and Part of my role was salary and budget overview so I knew! Also, unfortunately, the folks I saw promoted again and again were some of the most disparaging and miserable, judgemental and completely evil people I have ever known... It only gets you promoted if you suck up to executive staff hardcore and/or drink the kool-aid and dress like a ridiculous RL ad from the 70s.

Pros

Amazing American brand. Ralph Lauren is a creative and marketing genious

Cons

The most non-transparent, toxic, unprofessional and political place I have ever worked. Stay away, unless you are a unprofessional, gossiping, back-stabbing, lying and manipulative person who enjoys working in an environment filled with abusive people.
