Will Leather Goods reviews

Do not be fooled, this lifestyle brand is run from hell! The CEO Cannot keep his direction focused long enough for anything to work. One day it's left, the next it's right, the next it's up, the next it is down. He will not listen to ANYONE that tells him that he is running this company into the ground. His children do not understand how effective businesses are run and chaos insues. Rather than hiring incredible talent, paying them a liveable and competitive wage, they spend millions dollars opening stores across the county which yield little return. This ensures that they stay deeply in the red. This company is funded largely because their parent company Spirit Leatherworks (SLW) is a liscensee of Nike. Even with the name recognition of the number one brand in the country they still can't get anything right: -There are no standard procedures in place. -They change constantly. -They have HIGH turn over, people are there one day and gone the next. -They have virtually ZERO sales representatives. -They will never pay you a salary that will allow you to live with anyone besides your parents -They refuse technological advances. Rather than upgrading their ERP systems to make life easier, they stay in the stone ages. They would rather line their own pockets than invest back into the company. -Anything that benefits the employees and development of the company will never be approved. Executive Management earns top tier salaries and everyone else lives in poverty.

This company plays favorites, and if your not willing to do WHATEVER they ask you are not considered a "team player" meaning, you are easily replaced. They have no respect for work/life balance. You are expected to work as if it is your company, yet you receive no acknowledgement for this commitment. They often do not pay their vendors, and easily fire people to save money. As a result, employees are often in constant fear of losing their job for no reason. The HR department offers no comfort to employees, regularly never responding to complaints or inquiries leaving them feeling unheard. When you are responded to, you are welcomed with an unfriendly and bitter attitude, feeling as though you are a nuisance. The owners are often publicly seen/heard yelling at each other or other employees. They seem to have no idea how to run a profitable business, and easily disregard suggestions given to them by industry professionals they hire. When you do obtain employment, they ensure you are going to not only make a difference but also grow within the business. However, you are quickly given tasks outside of your job description without any compensation. When people are let go (which is often), you are required to pick up the slack with no added compensation.
