Pros

Good training up front. Nice location near Bryant Park. 401k. Short vesting period for 401k

Cons

Process for design pass off has changed so many times. High turnover. Most turnover in involuntary. Changing who is in charge of what makes work flow difficult and slow. Have to relearn processes constantly. No flexibility with new teams. When a worker leaves, they are not replaced, the workload is shifted onto the existing employees permanently. Low pay compared to similar companies. Denied promotions. Insurance has no doctors in manhattan that accept the plan.

Pros

You learn a lot about the apparel industry from people who have been at the company for many years. They like to hire from within, which can also be a con...limits variety. Nice experience for someone starting out in their career to dive into different departments

Cons

Not for everyone. If you're looking for flexibility, encouraging team members/leadership and employee recognition, this might not be for you. Obsolete processes, systems. Very stagnant and old-school corporate environment (structure/office and mentality), they even installed a face recognition system at the entrance to make sure employees are in office. They allow 1 day work from HOME, but not REMOTE. Heavily controlled and enforced. No flexibility whatsoever - this is absolutely your typical 9-6, live and breathe your job.
