Pros

40% discount, great pay for management.

Cons

Be very careful what you are promised by your upper management. I was promised many things but non of them ever came true. I have told many people in retail industry my experience with Guess? and they have all been shocked at how bad I've been treated by this company. I feel like I was used by Guess? when they needed me. I was told by upper management what I wanted to hear even though none of it was true. There was no work-life balance being a manager at Guess?. Health insurance is not that great. There was no recognition for good performance. And more important then anything else you are treated as an employee number and not as a person that can make a difference in a company. This company does not care if you get a lunch or a 15 minute break even though its the law. Because of trying to save on payroll I was not able to take a break or leave the store for lunch on many occasions, this seems to be part of the company culture.

Pros

Recognizable brand. Great marketing campaigns, good discount.

Cons

Ridiculous level of micro-management from corporate down to store level. You have to write a report about everything, including a report about writing a report. It's just stupid and time-wasting. DM's are out of touch with day to day needs of managers. Managers not given the support to develop store employees..therefore everyone feels like they are just a number. Insane amount of work hours for management, especially when they are shortchanged in payroll $'s and hours. It's just not worth it. The pay is not bad, but you will hate your life. Believe me.
