Pros

-Great Benefits that covered standard checkups as well mental health, dental and vision contributions were pretty cheap

Cons

-Terrible HR department that was only interested in covering up problems and gaslighting employees that complained in several situations I saw over my years there. -Completely arbitrary pay scale. With the team I helped manage, employees who had been there for years would ask for and be denied raises and never offered promotions while new employees with little to no experience in their position would be hired for anywhere from $3-15k more. I even had one male employee who I later found out was hired to make more than me even though I was his manager and when I had previously asked for a raise to meet the market rate I was denied just a few months prior. -Toxic Management. Over the last two years the employee turnover we had was quite high because everything came down to how we were doing compared to our pre-pandemic numbers. The negativity regarding our output was constant and often used as justification for why our annual raises were as minimal as possible.

Pros

The discount Hybrid model (can backfire) Free tickets to Levi’s stadium (there is a cap) Cool marketing events

Cons

I should have known my job offer was too good to be true after only 2 rounds of interviews I got a job offer I could not pass up. I was very nervous taking this opportunity coming from tech but I took a chance. BIG MISTAKE! Levi’s provided absolutely no onboarding. The day I arrived my laptop was not ready for 5 hours so they just left me at the IT desk until they figured it out. Should have realized then that IT there was a complete joke! I immediately was thrown in to the swing of things. My boss firing request out at me on day 1! Day 1! Not only my boss but people in his team! Like I had 15 emails saying welcome! can you do this? Like are you kidding me! day 1? Things only got worse when my boss would start asking me to do personal things for him and his family outside of work. Pay his bills, book doctors appts, hire a chef and maid. Like what??? When I complained to HR they acted shocked but nothing was done about my boss continued with the personal request. As I started putting up boundaries he pushed even harder !! He started calling my personal cell all hours early am and pm about anything that came to his mind! I went out of town for my first vacation and when I got back I was let go because he needs more dedicated support ! What ?! The place is very old school, no systems or modern tools. Literally noone used teams email only (weird). IT is a joke and takes a week to get anything accomplished. Weird old out dated environement. No wonder Levi’s had its peek many years ago. If you are young and used to an organized work environment with tools and systems in place do not work here ! I repeat do not work here!
