Pros

The Brand recognition is a Pro, but Brand recognition no longer off sets the lack of consistent leadership vision execution, major turnover, and sad decline in relevance, culture and overall morale.

Cons

Company is no longer growing. People, culture and talent are not a priority or truly valued - financials and politics are. Most of management are either miserable or scared. The strongest talent does not stay anymore during a time when the company needs its "stars" the most. Compensation is not competitive. Political in-fighting across departments. Diversity within Senior Management, Corporate and Business leadership has become shockingly non existent for a company of this size. Clueless, disorganized, untrustworthy HR leadership.

Pros

The company does have some wonderful benefits within the industry.

Cons

Recently the firm has given up any pretense of loyalty or interest in their employees as anything other than easily disposible, interchangable items.

Pros

Ralph Lauren, as a company, is a fantastic brand to work for. It attracts top talent which means that for the most part - your bosses and colleagues will be smart and enthusiastic people. When you step back, you realize that much of the organization's work that happens is world class - which can be exciting.

Cons

As many other reviewers have noted, the company is under going an intense period of change. Stefan is weeding out a lot of the management that served under the old guard - which is a good thing...but unfortunately not all that need to go are gone. In fact, many good employees with the strength to drive change were let go. Additionally, everything from processes to IT systems to ways of benchmarking the business are being redone which has caused tremendous confusion amongst the ranks (yes...even the most senior leaders that don't really understand the meaning of rising stars or cash cows).
