Rigid corporate culture, poor pay

Analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

hours aren't too ridiculous; vacation policy is fairly generous; employee discount (if you like their stuff and can afford it); some very nice people

Cons

The culture at HQ is very buttoned-up and conservative. Management is very, very top heavy. Senior management always seems paranoid; little room for innovation or questioning the way things are done. You will feel pressured to buy the brand to fit in, even though your salary doesn't allow it. Very high turnover of smart, young employees who don't fit with the rigid corporate culture (and find better pay elsewhere). 401k package is below average for a company of its size (6 years to be vested?!); health insurance plan is not great.

Pros

OK discounts, but outdated looks. high stress, no work balance, high turn over at entry to mid management, if that is what you likee

Cons

No career mobility in the NY 650 building, same apparel leaders from the 90's. the design and production offices are not inspiring the lifestyle RL portrays to the public. Same people have been in power for decades so no room for new young ideas. not sustainable ways of working, too many development samples, it's cluttered. No diversity in Head of production, brand and creative roles within apparel.

Pros

Good people, Good discounts. Great place to learn and work on cool projects. Lots of philanthropy efforts made my company that you can get involved in.

Cons

Management is top heavy and rude. It takes forever to get a decision finalize. Deadline expectations are unrealistic. Don't expect a good salary, good work life balance or a reasonable raise...ever. Moving up takes blood, sweat and a lot of tears.
