Pros

absolutely 100 percent nothing positive about Levi's.

Cons

Chip Bergh admitted in an interview he wasn't an "apparel guy". To make up for the fact that he has zero idea how to run an apparel company he just continues to lay off people. 1200 jobs will have been lost this year because he has no idea how to drive profits at an apparel company unless it involves layoffs. Good to know Levi's is being run by "not an apparel guy"
