Welcome to the Horrible World of Ralph Lauren

Sales associate

Pros

Discount.... Oh wait, I have to type twenty words. Ok, well let me put it more extensively. Working at Polo, one receives a 50% discount on full price merchandise. 50% can still be too much with the average product costing several hundred dollars. But the discount is the only pro.

Cons

Management was completely inept and the culture of the company is such that any changes that should be made are simply impossible. Big Brother was in full effect while on the job and everybody walks on egg shells the whole time. The commission based sales is fine but there is no rules governing the staff so it is usually like throwing a steak to hungry dogs. A horrible corporate culture that gets lost in the "glamour" of a high fashion company- you could be selling 2x4s at Home Depot with more class than this place.

Pros

Great discount and decent hours for a fashion company. I worked with great people so my job was fun. Ability to move around is there and I felt like it wa sencouraged.

Cons

You can get a much higher salary elsewhere, but Ralph Lauren has a great name, so I guess that is the price you pay.
