Pros

The people (not upper management) make the company what it is. Everyone is fairly pleasant to work with on a daily level.

Cons

1) The bureaucracy at Coach is becoming distracting. If you know someone (SVP, Sr. Director, etc), you can get a high paying job fairly easily. No interview required. No professionalism is required either as I have witnessed people falling asleep in meetings, coming in exceedingly late, etc. All because they had a friend in a well placed position. 2) No room for advancement. Since Coach is such a large company, everyone is given a narrow task. It's hard to explore and learn about other aspects of the business.

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
