Pros

Discount of bags I guess?

Cons

Clare V has one of the most toxic work environments I've ever encountered. They play favorites and if you aren't white and instagram ready at all times, you're not one of the ones they care about. Made us work through our lunches and holidays - also never got paid for working during the holidays. Clare couldn't care less about anyone there except her little crew. It feels very high school and clicky. If you aren't one of the cool ones, you don't exist. No room for growth, they only care about how they look on instagram.... which is very white. Oh sorry they hired ONE poc model after last years events. This company is completely fake and has so many problems from the inside. This is a cult environment and I'm glad I'm finally out.

Pros

The product is fine and there are a lot of talented, hardworking people in the day-to-day ranks. If you're looking for a brand with a strong aesthetic and customers who actually love what they buy, that part is real. Some of the people I worked alongside were the main reason I stayed.

Cons

The gap between senior leadership and everyone else is hard to overstate. It often felt like two different companies operating under one roof. Decisions and priorities at the top rarely lined up with what middle management, entry level, and the people actually doing the work were experiencing on the ground, and that disconnect never really got addressed. There's also basically no internal career development. People get hired into a role and then stay in that exact role, with the same title and the same pay, for years. Promotions and growth paths aren't really a thing, so if you're someone who wants to build a career and move up over time, you'll likely hit a ceiling fast and just stay there. On top of that, there's no clear strategy for growth. Everything is reactive instead of planned, and when things go sideways the instinct is to look for someone to blame rather than to figure out what actually went wrong and fix the underlying process. It makes the whole place feel like it's constantly putting out fires it could have prevented.
