It's Retail...and A Horse And Pony Show - Store Manager Tommy Hilfiger Employee Review

It's retail. It isn't rocket science. Even though sometimes they make you feel that way. For Tommy Hilfiger in particular, they like to plan BIG corporate visits to the stores (as they should). But, you have to make crazy last minute changes to your floor sets and all other kinds of silliness. Doing this sucks up almost all your allocated hours, which leaves you completely short handed for when the "visit" is over. And you typically lose your bonus that month because you go waaaay over your budgeted hours prepping and "putting on the show". Obviously, any special holiday is out the window. Upper management who doesn't actually have to work inside a store gets to spend those special holiday moments with those they love, but if you work in a store, you are screwed. You might get a couple of hours with your family...that's it.
