VF Imagewear Reviews

Pros

I can learn about the industry while still being able to attend school and be close to home. It is a great way to break into the business.

The market that we cater to in creatively limiting and can feel repetitive. It is also difficult to move up quickly.

Advice to Senior Management

Continue to expand and listen to your staff's ideas as they come up. Look to the future and be innovative.

Pros

Independant atmosphere, good pay and benefits.

Cons

lack of direction from top management, mixed signals to the field

Product lines should be driven by market place not just by Finance.

Benefits, stock, 401k, flex time

Cons

Hiring and promotions done unfairly, doesn't promote from within, poor pay, no incentive raises.

Advice to Senior Management

There needs to be more emphasis placed on developing employees and promoting from within.

Pros

Great company to work for in Nashville.

Cons

Fairness among various departments was not something that was often done.

Advice to Senior Management

Look at the management in the credit department and why employees often are pushed out or leaving.

Pros

Being involved with sports is a big plus. Also the environment is casual, we wear jeans every day. Management is positive and interacts with associates regularly. Flexible work hours either 7-4, 8-5 or 9-6 schedules.

Cons

Overall a good place to work, but there is not much advancement opportunities unless you go to work for other VF Brands.

Sometimes there is too much buddy, buddy systems going on. Company is very male management dominated. Need better or stronger employee benefits.

Advice to Senior Management

Try to improve office moral and our corporate culture. Give employees more incentives on a quarterly basis. Implement better communication tools between management and associates. Improve technology within our office.

VF is doing very well as a whole.

Cons

Downsizing and outsourcing are rampant.

Travel, good creative work, pace of work not overbearing. People are great to work with for the most part.

Cons

IT, IT, IT. So behind it hurts everything from communication to product development.
Some administrative departments have more power than they should.

Advice to Senior Management

Put money back into the business... fix the infrastructure so it enables the employees rather than inhibits them from doing their job.

Rotate Management While we were working too many were friends with the manager and they were favored over others.Some were taught new things and others were not taught based on how they were favored by the manager.

Pros

Diversity of work is great

Cons

Sometimes hard to manage work/life balance

Advice to Senior Management

we are back on track

Pros

Management tends to operate in an entrepreneurial management style, so you can make an impact if you are driven and work hard. Great people that believe in working hard, but also make work/life balance a priority.

Cons

Imagewear had pretty high turnover when I was employed there. Imagewear doesn't fit squarely into the overall strategy of VF Corporate, so at times the division doesn't receive the resources or the focuse it needs. Tough to transfer to other divisions for opportunities.

Advice to Senior Management

Employee retention should be a focus. Create opportunities for employees to rotate around within the organization; will create more well-rounded employees, with more loyalty and better results for the company.
