      The people are great, but management can do better.

      Pros

      The people are super great to work with. The company values are nice and I personally feel very strong about them.

      Cons

      Always felt like there was a lack of communication. Need to concentrate more on their employees and from what I was told, the pay is below industry standards.

      Don't work in merchandising

      Pros

      Good discount, interesting coworkers, fun products, a chance to get a 360 degree view of a business and learn how the customer service/warehouse/marketing/creative happens along with the merchandising.

      Cons

      For the merchandising team, there is no work life balance and there is almost no chance to move up. The company is strangely sexist, one of the only buyers to ever get promoted from assistant to associate to buyer was a man. I have spoken to former female buyers for this company and they confirmed this problem. Almost all top managerial positions are held by white guys. Since the company explicitly wants to be socially responsible and liberal, this is ironic. Pay is EXTREMELY low, well below competition. When I worked there, managers were abusive and nothing was ever done about it.

      Pros

      Upper level management makes a huge effort to make all employees feel like important parts of the team; monthly company-wide lunches to report info, news and updates; intelligent, committed co-workers, great sample sales

      Cons

      During my time there, a director was sometimes stretched too thin, affecting their ability to effectively manage team members and at times creating a tense environment
