Pros
The stakeholders are really incredible and many are legacy employees. The director level leadership team is open to ideas/feedback/input and gives lower level employees lots of opportunities to manage up and prove themselves. I didn’t meet a single director that want incredible. The company is iconic. Especially as far as fashion goes (most of us worked for competitors before going RL) the workplace environment is full of kind people and feels relatively secure if you work hard and pay attention.
Cons
Mid-level management is WAY overworked which trickled down to very little support for/communication with their direct reports. People are extremely over worked and under compensated, even at the associate level. The hours are BANANAS, even for a fashion company. The company basically went permanently remote for the NYC office, which made consistent long days and nights combined with a lack of communication a lot tougher, IMO. I didn’t feel like there was a ton of room for growth in my department.
