Ralph Lauren Childrenswear is the worst

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ralph Lauren sounds impressive to other people who have no idea what a terrible work environment it is.

Cons

This place sucks horribly. Childrenswear can't seem to keep employees for long since it's such an awful place to work. The managers have no idea how to manage and will blame you for literally everything that isn't your fault. No one knows what they are doing. It is completely disorganized and everyone is rude. They only promote people they know personally/are friends with. They freak out if you are a minute late. There is no work life balance. They expect your life to revolve around them when they act like you're disposable and don't value you at all. No one has your back. Pays lower than other companies. No room for growth. Can't wait to get out of here.

Ok company. Great for your résumé

Pros

You can learn a lot, but you have to find ways to learn within your job. It's a large company, but each individual brand is like a small company. The discount is great, when they offer an extra discount .

Cons

There are a lot of executives, most have little to no experience in the department they are managing so there is little support for growth unless you transfer or leave. I would like to take classes but there is no tuition assistance or reimbursement in the company. Colleagues and managers are not very trustworthy, and continually cause drama and backstab everyone. I can't say I would want to come back to work for this company if I left. This company is very political...... Friends hire friends, and don't you dare question it.

Favoritism and bias are the buzzwords here

Pros

Learning about vintage and heritage American clothing and lifestyle. A great resource.

Cons

Poor treatment of lower totem pole design staff. I worked horrifically long hours there. Racism is a real problem there but they hide it very well. Hierarchy taken far too seriously. Long hours. A lot of upper management are there only for their appearance (not necessarily for their looks) or for how well they kiss up to their superiors. Really behind on the current trends of the industry. Very biased against those who do not fit the aesthetic.
