Pros

Nice co-workers, free bagels on Friday if you can get them because they run out fast, store discount, decent hours.

Cons

Appears to be lots of turnover, negative attitude from many about the company, building shuts down for holidays for ten days and you don't get pay, if you need to God forbid take time off for an emergency they are already looking to replace you, unorganized, unbalanced workload, training is lacking, micromanaged.

Pros

Generous bonus structure as motivation to work hard.

Cons

I gave my two week notice, I worked very hard to finish loose ends for a smooth transition and was dimissed by the company after two days. Although not legally required, they DID NOT pay out the notice. If you quit, LEAVE. THEY WILL NOT RECIPROCATE YOUR COURTESY!!! Does not have employee in mind when making decisions. Does not make employee feel like they are valuable. No decision making power for middle management.

Pros

It's an alright starting salary for an entry level job in buying in New York & WFH Fridays

Cons

As a new hire out of college, I think the experience of working here is really russian roulette. As an assistant buyer, you have no say in what department you work for, and there's basically no opportunity to move into a desired department. I went to fashion school and was placed in a random accessories department. Like, FIT graduates are buying automotive accessories lol. The worst part and what I think is the fatal flaw of working here is that there's no interview process for your team placement. So even if you are a good employee, smart, and contribute a lot, you just may or may not vibe or align with your manager which absolutely determines your day today experience in the office, your opportunity for promotion, and your overall standing. I had a manager who was horrible, and I know as an employee I was doing a good job, but was only ever constantly berated. There's a corporate culture of always improving and learning, which is generally a good philosophy, but the way it materializes is essentially constant criticism and no reward for anything. HR sucks.
