Pros

Coach is one of the most organized retail companies I've ever worked for. It shows up everywhere, from hiring to training to managing. I believe that this takes pressure off managers and associates because everyone is always aware of what is expected from them. There is excellent communication between mangers and associates. Everyone is treated with respect. I work here part time to earn a little extra for my family in evenings and some weekends. It is the perfect job for part time, and the employee discount is very generous (40-50% off and 65% off for items that are being discontinued). I am impressed by the fact that most of the women that work at the store have been there at least 2 years, and quite a few have been there at least 5 years - highly unusual in retail!

Cons

I'm really not crazy about the dress code. Black and white is not my thing. I look like a food server at a banquet. But it also takes some pressure off when I'm getting ready for work because I never have to think about what to wear. Also when I buy clothes I've eliminated that "for work" category and can buy more play clothes. So I guess this is a half-hearted complaint...

Pros

- fast paced days with lots of client interaction and team building moments - fun product dropped monthly with opportunities to be the first to own popular drops - opportunities to grow* - a great starting place to learn how to provide an elevated shopping experience and learn how to build a client book

Cons

- * Opportunities to grow only present themselves if you have a positive relationship with the management team and/or the DM - Corporate tends to lead on candidates and promise advancements or change verbally but little is done to correct behavior or advance within the company - Your store manager will determine whether the team is harmonious and fair, can be a double edged sword - you will be asked to do tasks or take on projects outside of your position with no additional compensation. It will be heavily frowned upon to decline said opportunities and tended to lead to being denied advancements - during ICE activities in the city, Coach refused to make a statement and or provide guidelines to how we as a store should respond. Associates were punished for absences related back to ICE activities
