Pros

I was treated fairly, and had the opportunity for advancement. More importantly, my department honestly cared about my work life balance.

Cons

It's a well run company, but senior management treats it like it was a private company. Not as bad as some places I've been, but not good either.

Opportunities to learn, while getting under-paid and demotivated

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are good opportunities for learning. Whether that be in Wholesale or retail planning, Oracle applications or about the apparel industry in general, it is a good place to learn. Some employees call it 'The Perry Ellis University'.

Cons

They significantly under-pay compared to their peers in the industry. Communication between management and employees is very poor. Although the company is traded on NASDAQ, it is and is run like a family-owned company.
