Pros

Working at the VF building was a cool experience - the coffee bar. Benefits were also great and cool events.

Cons

My first time manager was horrible. She treated me like a subordinate instead of a peer, always assuming the worst. VF pretends to be "diverse and inclusive" but honestly, it's a super toxic work environment where everyone pretends to be nice but they actually have it out for you. I asked for a simple accommodation and they were not able to meet it in any way. Even HR was extremely unhelpful - even backstabbing,

Pros

The folks and products at Smartwool are top notch; for the most part.

Cons

The recruiter and hiring manager said the "company is evolving," and a more accurate description is "VF is going through an extremely painful restructuring."
