Pros

There were very few pros of working here aside from loving the people in my department. Also, the campus has a cafe for employees which serves healthy food at a (sometimes reasonable) price. The 40% discount off merchandise is pretty nice as well.

Cons

I've never worked in an environment that is so chaotic as Guess was. The chaos stems from the horrible upper management they employ there. Management has no clue how to manage their employees and the majority of them are completely incompetent. I often wondered how some of them managed to stay for so long. But Guess has such a bad reputation outside of the corporate offices, that they very rarely will fire even the worst of employees because it's near impossible to find replacements/find people that actually want to work there. Don't expect to get a raise any time soon after working there. Don't even expect to get a yearly performance review. Management are so consumed with themselves, that they forget that their employees rely on yearly merit increases as well as feedback on their performance. Tip for anyone working their now: The only time you can expect a hefty salary increase is if you threaten to quit. Makes you wonder if they are giving you this raise because they think you are irreplaceable or because they know no one wants to work there.

Pros

Great building, professional people, great offices.

Cons

Must be on time; it is very strict. Click girls' high school environment: if you are new, no one cares for you to guide you. They dump their work onto you, and since you are new, there is nothing one can say. Mid-level managers act as if they own the place. If you want to work there, make sure to be prepared to be alone for a long time; no real sense of team, just a worker environment clocking in to get in and out. No real training just swim or drown approach.
