Pros

Pros would be that you have a decent job in the fashion industry in Miami.

Cons

No company values lead to a high turnover. Every single person I worked with was so unhappy with there job the place was "toxic" there is no reward or career path. If you are thinking of appying or accepting an offer I would think about looking for other options. I was lead to think that they like to promote from within but its not true.. Not one person in all my several years from my dept was promoted or promoted to another dept. VERY political and if you are not part of the FAMILY nothing can come out of a career here it would just be a deadend JOB with no yearly % increase (even though they say you get a yearly increase when hired).

Pros

Depending on the team you would be lucky to get a group that is fun and open to ideas for simplicity,as there are many systems to track and gather information from.

Cons

HR staff is very disconnected and not helpful in fact they try their best to make matters worse, they do not try to help rectify or give you solutions to rectify instances they past blame rather than hear out the situation, I felt as thou I was just another employee and not a part of a team.

Pros

Beacuase you work in your own you have the opportunity of learn a lot. Met some excellent people

Cons

You are not recognize for a good job HR Dept do not represent the employees but only the owners Senior management like the gossip and like to micro manage In order to keep your job you must be a puppet on the owners hand. They dont like to hear the true of any situation. This is clearly a public company run by family. They hire only their family and friend even if they have no knowledge of the job. Security Dept is run by a person that think he is in a concentration camp. They hide cameras all around. E mails are screen as well as phone calls. There is no loyalty with the employees that have worked for many eyars. Recently they request for all over 60 years old to leave the company only to hire young, unexperience cheaper labor., Employees are requested to work over 40 hrs hours a week without compensation
