- 3.0Oct 23, 2023Menswear DesignerFormer Employee, more than 5 yearsLos Angeles, CA
Pros
Great Healthcare and Paid Internship program.

Weak Support System from Management especially dealing with Design Calendar Change. Design Manager would routinely check in with designers nicely but fail miserably to provide real assistance to the designers with extra workload.
- 1.0Nov 5, 2023Retail Sales AssociateFormer Employee, less than 1 yearDawsonville, GA
Pros
Besides a guaranteed payday, not much else. Associates do get an initial 60% off after completing training (IF they ever sign off on it).
Cons
The staff is toxic and controlling. Ridiculously low hours due to management and an overall high school “mean girl” environment from both management and associates alike. Best to move on.

Work hours, Management, and not a lot of people in NYC office

- 4.0Jul 18, 2023Assistant BuyerCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearLos Angeles, CA
Pros
Guess is a really amazing place to work if you are ambitious and eager to learn. You will receive some of the best training in the industry and will always have resources available to further develop your buying skills. You will also work with some of the best people!
Cons
Don’t come to Guess if you aren’t prepared to work really really hard. It’s a demanding job and you will have long work days during buys. Urgency is key here and you can’t be the type to crack under pressure. You will feel the pressure at Guess. But the cooker pressure environment is what develops the best buyers. And accomplishments and wins are recognized here.
