Pros
1. There is strong branding, so you have a good sense of the company aesthetic and point of view. 2. It's a growing company, one of Liz Claiborne's only successes at the moment. 3. Many good employees
Cons
1. It feels very, very corporate because it's owned by Liz Claiborne. Not the Kate Spade from 10 years ago - Kate herself doesn't even have anything to do with the company anymore which many people don't realize. 2. Feels hard to move up unless you put in a LOT of time, and even then the promotions I saw weren't huge. 3. Strong branding can be a negative if you don't live and breathe ks. You have to totally get behind the "schtick." 4. Some very bad seeds employee-wise too, which can cancel out the good ones. 5. Poor pay
