Pros

It helps boost your resume and get your foot in the door, that's it. I did learn a lot about fashion. And once in a while they throw in some free lunches. I guess it's also nice to have free tampons in the bathroom for ladies, I'll give them that. Benefits aren't the worst, but not that great either.

Cons

Pretty much everything else. Management is trash, there's low-key racism going on within the higher ups. Good old nepotism, scandal and favoritism runs like blood within this company's veins. As for the CEO, I've really grown to despise over the years once she started showing her true colors. This company's work culture is so toxic and they do not give a single darn* about their employee's wellbeing, we're just numbers and robots to them (trying to keep my language PG-13). You hardly get any vacation or breaks. This place will suck the life out of you and give you horrible mental breakdowns, I do not recommend you working here unless you have to.

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.
