Shopbop | East Dane Reviews

Pros

Great people, lots of opportunities to broaden skillset,

Cons

Sale times get a bit hectic, but that can come with the industry

Pros

I worked here for a year and would say that maybe the discount is the only pro.

Cons

The people are all the same and are so mean, terrible work-life balance, a terrible place to work.

Pros

Very smart, talented, and thoughtful current leaders. Shopbop was able to keep everyone on staff (I think) when other corporate retail companies were laying people off. They had people who couldn't perform their pre-COVID jobs at home filling in where needed. Very commendable. Company was very good with encouraging employees to work from home.

Cons

Can be a very fast paced environment which is ideal for some but can be very stressful. Overtime is no longer approved because of Amazon's new COVID policy of double-over time which was meant to relieve stress but instead has created more stress.

Pros

Select departments are passionate about what they do and enhancing the customer experience. Within departments there are close bonds which makes the days more manageable.

Cons

Members of the leadership team have been publicly humiliated and bullied by the executive team. Human Resources has been referred to as the “narc” by members of the inner circle because they work for the executives not the employees so don’t bother trying to bring anything to their attention. There is little interest in employees well-being both mental and physical. When the CEO learned multiple departments were experiencing anxiety and unusual amounts of stress she replied in a large meeting that employees are just Type A personalities and it had nothing to do with work. End of story. Mental well-being is not important and those who speak up are pushed out. Executive team lacks basic understanding of business best practices creating an environment where departments constantly spin to try to meet the ever changing demands. Blame is often placed on teams who are only doing what they are forced to do as ‘managements way is the only way’. There is no organizational alignment because there is no culture. What used to be a culture based on transparency, trust and data is now a culture of yesing management through hierarchy. This type of culture seeps into decision making - which ultimately will break the company. Because of managements way of ruling, there is a complete lack of diversity in how the business thinks about the ever evolving customer and the best way to serve the customer.
