Pros

Free snacks in the office, quick commute, nice coworkers, truly unbelievable stories to tell your friends and will make any future job a breeze.

Cons

PLEASE DO NOTE: the good reviews here are usually written against their will. Gretchen (the owner) obsesses over this website. Instead of treating people better and learning from the reviews, she rolls her eyes and blames it on "lazy millennial work-ethic". The only reason I am writing a review is because I want other people to be forewarned and not fall for the fake ones. Everything you do for the company will not be good enough. The owner's aesthetic is very confusing and any innovative ideas will be shot down. You will be patronized for not knowing every historical reference that she knows and will be made to wear many hats and not compensated. If something you create is actually approved by her she will take all the credit. You are truly set up to fail, just to make the owner feel good about herself. There are no designated teams, everyone works for themselves and answers directly to the owners. There is absolutely no job security - you can and will be fired at the drop of a hat. People are known to not show up at their second day (once they catch wind of the real situation). I did leave on my own turns but saw plenty of my employees fired and quit during screaming matches. I could go on for days but just read the other negative reviews, they capture the essence in a nutshell...

Pros

For those with fashion experience that want to work outside the city, this is the right place for you. For those with little fashion experience, this is the place to learn and grow.

Cons

If you are willing to learn and work hard and you will be rewarded personally and financially. The fashion industry is not all glamour, it's really hard work. Like any other job, sometimes it is not a fit and you move on, but if you do love this field, the cons are very small compared to the pros!
