Pros

Employee get discounts on Coach bags in Coach stores.

Cons

Very hierarchical; very hive-like: a nightmare for independant thinkers. Lower ranks have no power to question processes and will get bullied into silence. The technical department fell apart while I was there and no one was willing to address head-on the problems of poor management and flat out ignorance of the issues brought up by tech associates who knew the process better than management. One woman I worked with who'd been there for years doing well was suddenly bullied into silence and shut out until she wilted and finally left.

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
