      Pros

      The prestige and name recognition of the corporation and great discounts (provided you have the disposable income to but the very expensive merchandise).

      Cons

      1. Promotion opportunities are not based on ones abilities but having it in with the boss. 2. Employees expected to chip in to but boss very expensive presents (and worse the bosses actually accepting them). 3. Expected to live the brand by buying the merchandise regardless of whether your salary permits it. 4. An incredible about of favoritism and nepotism exhibited by management. 5. Too many Inexperienced management totally incapable of managing employees. 6. Incredibly long work hours that are expected but not appreciated.

      Pros

      It's a good school and a valuable stepping stone in the industry. If you're fortunate enough to work with managers who are nicer than the one I had (and they do exist), I can see someone staying here for a long time. Salary and benefits weren't bad at all.

      Cons

      The more senior employees who have been with the company for decades often display a pretentious and egotistical attitude, seeking constant validation and approval from their direct reports. I felt I was being treated like a personal assistant, attending to the daily "needs" of my manager and feeling that my efforts were never satisfactory despite a long and intense work routine. Longevity at the company should not equate to an inflated sense of importance. That attitute in fashion industry expired 20 years ago. The difficult and capricious Devil Wears Prada personalities are no longer in trend in fashion. In contrast, the millennial and Gen-Z employees are so much more pleasant, approachable, helpful and cooperative when working cross-functionally. I really enjoyed working with them.
