I worked at JHP

Pros – - A very well respected name within the retail design world and a good name on your CV if you want to impress a future employer with a similar pedigree.
- Excellent experience for a graduate to mid level employee.
- Primrose Hill is a very nice place to be based.

Cons – - Largely unknown outside of retail design.
- No scope for promotion beyond senior level.
- Male dominated environment with bosses who can be unnecessarily aggressive and initmidating.
- Formulaic design methods can lead to projects resembling previous work rather than adopting a fresh approach.
- Senior staff up to and including associate director level can find themselves with little responsibilty as MD's tend to dominate the direction of projects rather than trusting and delegating.
- Work environment isn't very inspiring with a quiet office and low quality IT systems that often cause problems.

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to your employees. Respect them and trust them to do their job.
Promote and reward those who perform well and show loyalty.
