Ann Taylor – “Sell your house, divorce/leave your spouse or sig other, give your dog away. Buy a tent and pitch it in your office.”

Pros

The discount. But, as a guy it's not really a perk, is it?

Cons

No work/life balance, extremely unrealistic expectations, senior management is the worst I've ever experienced and does nothing but degrade employees. Technology is a joke: Endeavor, ATLAS and PIMS are systems that never do what they are supposed to and the field is expected to run multi million dollar businesses and deal with crap systems that give dead-wrong info.

Advice to Senior Management

Take an industrial psych course. When this economy turns around, you'll all be screwed by the mass exodus. You can't walk into a store, berate the entire staff, pay nearly minimum wage to part timers and expect what you do. And you're wrong: they DON'T need the job enough to put up with your garbage.
