Pros

Great people working for the company, feels like a family and everyone works really hard. Products are great, work is exciting and varied.

Cons

Restructures every 12-18 months, talented people managed out, your face needs to fit in this organisation or you will go nowhere.

Pros

Amazing products with considered development process and excellent colleagues. Most with a real passion for the outdoors.

Cons

Owners do not understand the true brand values and the move to London proves this. I doubt working for Berghaus in London will be anything like it was in Sunderland

Pros

Great team of people and genuine passion for the brand. Product days for staff are a great opportunity. Part of the Pentland group and they are a really amazing family of brands.

Cons

Strategy by board changes every six months. Large HR team to manage consultation programmes which occur every twelve months. No brand management and focus too much on turnover without any success in achieving any net gains in this area at all. Outwardly is a global brand but reality is that it is a well known UK brand and its grasp on this market is slipping away.
