Pros
Employee discount on the sunglasses.
Cons
The company was previously private and then was purchased in the past year by a much larger European company who owns fashion houses like Gucci. They negatively impacted the culture and morale and started abusing employee overtime by hardly even giving 24 hours notice. Most of the time it was less notice than 24 hours and it was extended indefinitely. Almost every single Human Respurces employee aside from the directors quit in the spring and summer of 2024. That really signaled to the employees that things were headed down a bad path. Upper management does not care about how Kering is handling things. They’re just letting it all happen. So many tenured employees have quit in the past 12 months.
