    Needs a lot of improvement

    Mar 29, 2023 - Anonymous Employee in San Francisco, CA

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Good retirement plan, great team. Healthcare is not bad but not the best in market.

    Cons

    As it is very typical for retail: you get a lot promised with not much delivered. Really needs improvement in communication. A lot of disconnect between stores and HQ. Brand is struggling with identity that reflects in market drops and as a result sales numbers.

    Stay Focused

    Feb 24, 2023 - Sales Associate - Stylist in Dallas, TX
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Opportunity to build clientele and book, decent foot traffic, and as long as you’re kind the coworkers are kind as well. Fairly relaxed yet professional environment. This a great company to have on your resume in luxury for your career path.

    Cons

    A word of advice for any sales job: protect yourself. Don’t be naive to team members doing what they need to increase their numbers. It’s typically not personal. Always ask questions to understand the selling environment and how you can better navigate it. Always professionally and directly address when you feel mistreated by someone because management may have biases. Speak up. Because the team has ~10 people, cliquish behavior can be seen.

    CEO Approval

    Pros

    Friendly coworkers, reputable company, good pay.

    Cons

    Lack of structure in process and onboarding. Outdated systems made something as simple as submitting a purchase order take a thousand years. Unclear priorities and lack of structure When trying to hire it was made nearly impossible by the HR team which was essentially made up of untrained new hires themselves.
