Pros
It's nice to have discounts on their clothing. They provide a higher discount rate for their employees than most fashion companies in order to encourage us to purchase and wear GUESS clothing. I especially loved the jeans and the shoes, which were always right on trend and well made. I also really liked a lot of the lower and mid-level employees. When I started working there, I really loved my job and the people in my department. The recruiters there were great, too. They wooed me to the company because of my experience and education, which made me really respect that they were skilled at makig smart hiring decisions.
Cons
Compensations tend to be lower than the going rate. I was surprised how low some of my co-worker's salaries were. The senior management is awful, more psycho the higher you go up the food chain. Paul Marciano literally walks through the halls screaming at people and firing whole departments when he's in a bad mood. He also makes business decisions based on the opinions of his then eight year old daughter, who was allowed to drive golf carts all over the compound unsupervised. There is an extremely high turn-over rate due to the way the upper management treats employees in general. They make their employees feel guilty for having lives outside of GUESS. Overall, it was a really crappy job. Loved what i did, but hated every penny I put in Paul Marciano's pocket.
