Abercrombie & Fitch reviews

Beware if you are applying to be a store designer. The leadership team of store design is the most ill-equipped group of people I've encountered. Leadership will lie, manipulates people/situation, and controls everything by fear. Leadership seems fake and two faced as well. Everyone is afraid to speak up when leadership is wrong. The environment is terrible and the worst I have experienced in my career. Leadership promotes people by favoritism because they have no clue what people under them do. It's common to be micromanaged because that's is a way to develop talent according to leadership. Anyone above manager level has zero clue about the design industry or architectural standards because all of the leaders' background were working at the store. There's no continued education or opportunities to learn more. The work itself is repetitive and they want to value engineer everything so all stores becomes a stale box. No creativity at all. A lot of money has been spent on correcting projects because of poor/uneducated leadership decisions. It's a joke. Save yourself frustration and look elsewhere.

- Work life balance - they will not work with you if you have medical or outside life issue even when you want to use your PTO or sick time the will not let you do it and give you such a hard time - Dangerous - Shoplifters everyday who threaten you, throw stuff at you and wait outside to harass you - The company will not protect you if you are assaulted... - They are going down hill they are only reporting +$ last quarter because they laid off hundreds of employees and closed 80 stores. They have plans to keep closing more stores too.
