        Pros

        The employee discount is pretty good, you can use across other brands under the SPARC umbrella.

        Cons

        Forever 21 lacks on investing on their store teams. They don’t give enough payroll to help set the stores up for success especially when they want all their shipment processed and place on the floor, they want exceptional customer service, they want their stores to be per visual standards. They also expect you to use old out dated visual supplies to support their visual directives. The DM and FVM only gives their lowest volume store old visual supplies that are usually not in good condition. The merit increase they give to their managers is horrid, just a 1% increase. Really?!?!

      Those hired/rejected by MBB, how did you get the news after the first round of interviews? Via phone or email? As of now all the comms with HR were through email, so not sure what to expect. Also it has been >1 weeks since...🫠McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group Bain & Company

      Manager

      I recently did a phone interview and it went well. A week later, I get an in person interview with HR. They let me know I will be hearing back from them shortly. On linked in, the position I applied for opened back up, is this a sign that they decided to not hire me? I’ll be reaching out soon. But just got me disappointed.
