Mervyns – “Great place to work until Private Equity took over, then it was terrible”

Pros

Great opportunities for growth
Great people

Cons

Management did not control costs pre- sale of the company.
Management after the sale was terribly ill equipped to understand the problems the company was facing. The new management was very poor and did not communicate well.

Advice to Senior Management

I would never work with any of the management team that "managed" Mervyn's during it's private equity days. They ran the company into the ground.
