Understand that employees have personal lives.

Working at Coach is like working with an extended family. The benefits are great as well as their 401k plan and stock.

The only way to get promoted is if you are well liked. You could work very hard every single day, yet they still tell you it's not enough.

Advice to Senior Management

Management also holds onto too many things in the past when in retail you should always be moving forward.

With Coach, you get a great discount and work in a fun, competitive environment. The bonuses for making plan are nice on the wallet.

Upper management will motivate and prepare you for better opportunities only to lead you on and pass the promotions to someone else.

Please be mindful of the promises you make to your employees because when you don't follow through they will look elsewhere.

Salary is better than average for retail

Advice to Senior Management

Get a management team that can manage and all be on the same page and learn how to treat employees, not just select employees

Pros

It has got a senior management that is top notch - comparable to the best companies. Coach has navigated good and bad economic environments really well!

Cons

Depending on which group your working with - long hours could be norm.

Advice to Senior Management

A lot of knowledge and technical expertise are mostly kept inside a group or departments. One way to unlock this and make use of a facebook-like-chatter social network within the enterprise. It would certainly help with collaboration between teams.

Pros

Fantstic incentives and bonus structure. Easy to make bonuse monthy and year end
Profit sharing.
Good benefits.
Always looking for ways to improve. Listens to employee feed back. Has strong training program for new hires and ongoing employees.
Great discount.

Cons

Very high sales goals.
Expects managers to sell/ compete with associates.
Needs to change bonus structure for assistant managers so that it is more in line with higher level managers.
Needs to be competitive with pto. Offer one one PTO instead of 2 weeks vacation sick time. People can get rewarded for their reliability and others will not abuse e sick time policy when they are not sick

Advice to Senior Management

Coach was a great company to work for. The only suggestion I have is for HR to conduct exit interviews to help further better their current employees.
