Pros

Work with good brands. Some nice product giveaways

Cons

I was at Madison 88 for a year and 3 months before they let me go. I was promised alot of opportunity and growth but ended up in a dead end position. I ended up doing alot intern work and that was frusturating for someone who had industry experience had more talents and skills to utilize. As any young professional, you want to put in your best effort and hope at the end you got something out of it, and to be honest, I don't feel like I learn anything here. They really should just hire more interns instead of wasting graduated professionals time with dirty work. They are a multi billion dollar company and are very cheap and also do not treat some of their employees nicely. There are some nice people there don't get me wrong but upper management could care less about your well being or if a family relative passed away. You should save yourself and look for another position with a better company.

Pros

I worked at Madison 88 for nearly 10 years. Madison 88 is a Design and Development house focused on knitting, where you will learn all of the fundamentals by an experienced, hands on team. It is a smaller, more intimate company, where you will develop close relationships with your teammates. They are always encouraging a collaborative environment and to attend workshops and expositions for continuous growth and innovation. They work with over 60 top brands worldwide, offering you exposure to a variety of different company’s working ways. I had the ability to travel frequently, both domestically and internationally, to brand headquarters, trade shows, and factories, with each trip enhancing my knowledge and experience in the industry. Madison 88 offers great benefits and competitive compensation and my reason for leaving was to focus on my family.

Cons

Can include early/late hours to accommodate overseas counterparts & customers

Pros

You get exposure to global networking

Cons

No work life balance, constant night calls, and frequent interrogations from the owners. There is yelling and judgment from top management. It's not a healthy or stable company to work for. There are constant changes, high turnover, and they struggle to retain employees. You will never get a timely response from the CFO/HR because you're just not important.
