      Very educational and great work environment but dissatisfied with growth.

      Pros

      Great Work Environment Associate Appreciation Successful brands (rewarding) Great learning experience Great management Full time associates have amazing benefits package, growth opportunities, and many other perks

      Cons

      Keep freelancers for YEARS without awarding them company discount or benefits Long hours with no overtime and no paid personal days, sick days or holidays for freelancers Freelancers do not have the same growth opportunities as full time associates but sometimes have the same or more daily responsibilities. Sometimes freelancers have even been managers of a department for YEARS before being hired full time. This is a multi-billion-dollar company - they should be able to hire their long-term freelancers. Very political - be careful who you trust and how you interact with others.

      Pros

      good salary when signing on pretty good bonuses for executives great hours in my brand/function they usually hire smart people most people are nice (unless they are talking behind my back which is possible, and happens) very stable company focused on the customer the travel can be nice

      Cons

      they never hire freelancers-they can be full time freelance for years! with no hope ever they make a ton of money but are very cheap (ie the worst yearly raises etc) agree with others who posted-most svp etc stay for 15+yrs and never leave, which means no growth opps if you are hoping to get to that level the senior leaders generally do not "walk the walk" or "walk the talk" or whatever their crazy saying is. a lot of senior leaders generally have huge inflated egos and are not humble like they try to teach them to be. i only know 1 leader that is truly humble there they make you do all this limited way training, then most people who move up absolutely do not follow limited way values they promote the most absurd people sometimes. the most absurd unprofessional people! this is a fact, not an opinion their AOS associate opinion surveys are crap-nothing really ever changes. and people are scared to be honest because no one knows if it's really anonymous! especially the higher level you are they sometimes do this 360 feedback thing on employees, then they do not tell the person getting feedback they need to improve etc. based on the feedback. ridiculous. why bother then? this goes for any company-but HR is never to be trusted. ever. very little to no appreciation-some days i don't know why i'm still there. actually most days. they force you to donate to united way and pelotonia. and they want you to give a lot. they tell you what to give! so god forbid you have your own causes you support. the amount of change/spin is insane as someone else posted this will be my last job in corporate fashion- there's only so much abuse one can take in a lifetime.

      Good Start to a Career...but movement is a must

      Operations supervisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good strategic direction, overall good leadership, smart, young, hip company. Work-life balance is fair, you get a significant number of PTO days from start. Discount is good if you are a female. Good place to start a career, get chance to learn a lot about the retail fashion industry.

      Cons

      Lacking realistic long-term opportunities for high achieving individuals..."need to wait your turn" in a lot of situations. Dead-weight in many areas of the organization..."lifers" exist almost everywhere and are clogging up opportunities for younger, talented employees. Lacking pro-active approach to doing business, lots of reacting. Extremely seasonal industry, super busy during holiday season.
