Ralph Lauren reviews

So basically the con is that this company is no longer the company I spoke about in the pro section. They operate now with fear. I get that a company needs to make changes to grow. I totally get that. But the day RL handed over this company was the day it hit the fan. I literally saw the infrastructure crumble. Entire departments were let go without warning. People started fearing for their jobs. But the worst part was, they were letting go the people who were producing. I saw the stores start to deteriorate. People stopped caring because there was no direction. No leadership. No cultivating growth. In my time, I never made what I should have. I worked so hard and was always at the bottom of the pay scale for my title. I still worked hard but I never was compensated what I actually know I deserved. Now I work for myself so I do appreciate all the talent I learned from and don't see my time as a total waste! It helped me get were I am today, but that is not the same RL that exists today. I left because it wasn't that company I started with. And I never looked back.

When I started, I was told this was a hire to retire company. I loved that about here. Then one day, I watched my friends get taken out. The layoffs weren't even reasonable. They removed people with the greatest seniority and the oldest in age. Sometimes whole departments were gone except one or two people. My team was lucky and only lost 2...but I'm not sure that was good really because they were the ones with the most experience. We were left with nothing. Before the people were even escorted out, their outlook access was turned off. Their meetings disappeared from calendars. Their work saved on their computers was gone. The ones of us left cannot keep up with the work they did when we cannot even access their information. I understand that sometimes layoffs are a necessary evil, but this process and the people chosen was truly evil. Before the layoffs, I had no negative experience with this company at all. Now, I am at an extreme frustration level and don't know if I can continue working for a place that can do that to their most loyal people.
