If you aren't a favorite, good luck getting promoted

Pros

Your direct counterparts will be the most amazing people you'll work with. The company happens to hire some of the best rank and file professionals in the business.

Cons

Unfortunately, unless you're willing to go along to get along, or you just happen to be the last man standing, you'll never be promoted. Or you happen to be a fave of upper management. Doesn't matter if you have the skill set. Looks also matter a whole lot. If you don't have the "Ralph Lauren" look, good luck getting a good review or anything resembling any acknowledgement that you're actually good at your job.

Great Company, great benefits, great leadership but pay is terrible

Pros

It is one of the most diverse companies in the industry. There's opportunity for everyone regardless of your background. The Lauren family is great at instilling their core values of equal opportunity, being charitable and inclusive in the company culture. Everyone has been here at least 10 years because its just a great place to work with amazing camaraderie and employees who have a great passion for the brand. Also the new CEO is a joy to work for. He embodies the value of the Lauren family, is very approachable and continues to strive towards equal pay for women.

Cons

Compensation is awful. I choose to stay because it works for my family however most companies are being really flexible these days so its hard to justify staying here. The company is aware they are well below the curve and has instituted even more flexibility to compensate. We've had layoffs consistently for 5 years and the organization is very flat so there's little to no internal mobility or room for advancement.

Pros

Location is convenient, some good people.

Cons

Sr. Leadership is not aligned, leading to lack of forward momentum. Low talent levels. Lauren family and cronies still living in the past and looking backwards nor forwards.
