Pros

Some of the other employees I met at this job are some of my closest friends to this day. I come from a non-fashion background, so learning about labels was educational / insightful.

Cons

Everything else. Manager was awful (sexist, ran hot and cold but mostly aloof), expectations were unrealistic, environment was bleak and uncomfortable and any perks of the job were greatly outweighed by the soullessness of the job itself.

Pros

Good peer group of women on the team. Mileage reimbursement is provided.

Cons

Extremely high sales quotas that are difficult to consistently achieve, paired with limited compensation upside even when goals are met. The organization feels top-heavy, with too many layers of management relative to the field team, which creates inefficiencies and slows decision-making. Management style can feel overly micromanaged and at times more focused on process and tone than actual business growth or performance metrics. There is limited perceived career growth, and compensation does not scale meaningfully with experience or performance. Overall morale among the sales team is low, and employee concerns around workload, pay, and structure do not always feel addressed in a meaningful way.
