Pros

You get pretty flexible time off and good work/life balance when all the right people are in place. Lots of free/discounted products from VF brands.

Cons

This is speaking purely for the creative team and into the greater marketing team. I think Smartwool overall isn't a bad company, but specifically these teams are ran poorly. I've been here a little over a year and the entire team has churned due to poor leadership. Our projects are constantly last minute with zero clear direction. The women on the team get no career path and get harassed. I'm hoping that will clear as more people come forward, but as of now, I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel. It's unfortunate because we had a wonderful and talented team that really worked well together and every one of those people has since left due to lack of support from leadership.

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,
