The hours are flexible and managers are cool. Lots of people to meet and work with. Also, Levi's is a great company.

You are working with many different people and you are not going to get along with everyone.

Pros

Good work life balance. Good company reputation. Good team work environment.

Cons

Senior Management failed to turn around the company over 15 years of declining/no growth in sales. Company is always being restructured with employees being layoff every year for the last 10 years. Every new management team came in and repeated the same mistakes the previous teams had failed before. Every CEO promised big sales and earning growth but delivered little. This latest round of restructuring may put the company on the path of destruction.

Pros

Great ethics as a company. Community involvement is encouraged, and we're progressive in our "green" efforts. Levi's is a historical brand with great roots and bragging rights. There's always something to learn, and employees feel "cool" for working here rather than at our competitors. There is always a very quick response to feedback from stores. It feels like we're working for a mom-and-pop shop with the family atmosphere that is created.

Cons

There have been a lot of changes within the company recently: going global, leadership changes, job cuts, store closings, and a bigger emphasis on e-commerce. Outlet stores are popping up everywhere while mainline stores are being closed due to cost, which is leading to us losing our premium/ denim aficionado customer. We've lost our vintage, orange tab, and our selvedge customer to e-commerce and/or boutiques that sell our Made and Crafted line. There are a few stores that specialize in more premium lines, but they're few and far between.
