Pros

- Genuinely nice people - Well known and built brand - Decent wage - Decent store environment

Cons

- Extremely inefficient operations, from unstreamlined technology, excessive paperwork, and a lack of corporate investment/relentlessly cutting corners - Calvin Klein stores are not equipped with proper infrastructure to safely, efficiently, and satisfactorily run the business, from a lack of a proper backroom, management office. break room, and outdated store design, especially for the brands cash volume and traffic, there are many times the companies unwillingness to imvest any amount of money into improving the store leads to associates being left in rather unsafe situations, all situations completely avoidable if Calvin Klein imvested the money to modernize the employee experience - The store management bonus program presents itself as merely a decorative prop, with insanely high, usually unachievable, sales goals, and highly unrealistic payroll expectations, and the bonus figures when they are achieved are nothing to be proud of, floor supervisor bonuses often come out to less than $100 after taxes, and assistant manager not much above.

Pros

Zero honestly. Everyone in this building has Stockholm syndrome if they can think of any. Maybe the 2 days a week working from home.

Cons

Management refused to manage downward AT ALL. I’ve never seen a corporate company in such disarray and disorganization. None of management are fashion people or involved in the industry and almost none of the work ever leaves your desk. Bonuses are constantly cut as revenue falls while work increases. Toxic culture and people with attitudes are rewarded.
