      Pros

      The people, Most are great. 9-3:30 Fridays year round.

      Cons

      The pay is NOT on par with experience and workload. It is extremely unbalanced, to the point that they will pay most junior staff to be just under the cut-off for overtime (and they DO NOT pay overtime), then overwork the mid and upper staff since they are JUST OVER the minimum. If you have a family and you are a woman, turn and run. If you do not have kids or you are a man.. no problem. You could swing it if you sacrifice any personal life Monday through Friday. Let's talk about managers. Some are awful, manipulating, complainers. Others just are clueless. It's not their fault, though. The company does not invest in properly training their managers on how to deal with personality differences, or how to grow their staff. They believe growing their staff allows them to move onto another company with a better title. So instead, they want to hold their thumb on you and keep you where you are with minimum % annual raise. Afterall, you are just a number and everyone is replaceable. Bottom line, if you output lots AND LOTS of work you will get a mediocre pay check.

      Pros

      Pros: - Work life balance. You won't stress here over work load and you never work late. Very hybrid and you can take advantage of that. Most days you can easily finish before 5pm. This work load is rare in the fashion industry - The people in design are very friendly and diverse. The team energy is welcoming and that never changed. Cons: - Very small pay compared to industry standards. This is expected because the workload is insanely easy and doesn't require much skills. But with inflation constantly rising, this place is not for a long time to be at. - No growth, dont stay long or you will be stuck. Very hard to find a job when you only have years in socks. - CFT teams do not get along. No collaboration in between. - Managers and seniors stay because of cushion easy positions that may pay fair. So never expect to be promoted cause those positions aren't going anywhere. - No real holiday parties or appreciation to employees. They seemed to think the easy work load and strong hybrid was good enough for their employees and thats it.
