Pros
Formerly a good company...still has a good foothold in the discount store market. There are some good people that work here and many that have been with the company for a long time. These people probably only still work here because there are good benefits for people who have a lot of years at the company. The hours are good- you won't have to work around the clock like you would at other fashion companies.
Cons
The company has been in a downward spiral ever since being broken up and sold. Upper management is not only clueless as to what their employees are doing on a daily basis-they also do not care. In their defense, I suspect it is because they are simply trying to keep the company afloat. People walk out or get fired with no notice often and are promptly escorted out of the building. There is one manager here who has no business being in a clothing company...or any company because he/she is so utterly clueless as to how both people and business work. I have seen this person and upper management continuously throw their employees under the bus...even firing people for their own mistakes that they couldn't admit to. It was maddening to see people get forced out of their jobs they had held for 20+ years all because of someone's deranged ego and consistent abuse to employees. HR is useless...if you complain you will get fired. This is why I left the company- it is an absolutely toxic environment that anyone smart would be wise to stay far away from. Also- the pay sucks and bonuses are minuscule if not nonexistent.
