Spanx Reviews

The company runs on lies, manipulation and bad secrets. There are the kind of secrets that are necessary for a company to stay fresh and innovative, but I'm not talking about those. You'll be encouraged to provide input and ideas, but any good ones will be stolen and used…you won’t get credit for them. You’ll hear over and over again “I hear you”, but don’t ever expect to be “listened to”. Change happens frequently, but it will won’t be to your benefit…be prepared. While they will tell you there are perks of being privately owned, they are all lies… even the most loyal of employees are treated as a number and will suddenly be let go. This became so frequent that if someone went on vacation for a week, you’d assume they were no longer with the company. No body will bother to tell you anything and when they use words like “transparency”, they are trying to trick you into thinking they are being honest when really that are covering some serious stuff up. Some people can play the “Spanx Game” well, but that means spending years sucking up to entitled, under-qualified women who are extremely power hungry. If you are an amazing, educated and talented human being, please do not drink the koolaide and accept an offer here. I know that it’s the closest you’ll get to "fashion" in the southeast and that it looks like a glamorous place to work (I thought the same thing), but in reality, Spanx is just a shiny BMW that's completely immobile. Sure, you can take a picture in the driver’s seat and post it to Instagram and you’ll probably get few likes…but you in the driver’s seat of that BMW will never, ever go anywhere. It will only ever be good for the picture. Sometimes, that’s all some people need…and if that’s you and you’re will to take the risk, I truly wish you the best of luck. However, if you’re wanting to advance in your life, skillset and career then this is not the place for you. The reviews are true…the environment is toxic. You can do better than this.

Everything else - Toxic environment Sara only cares about herself and the money she makes and what cover of a magazine she is on next - absolute phony No work life balance Long hours for no reason other than to show you are "dedicated" Management can't or don't know how to manage Mean girl environment No decisions are ever made Drama at every turn Lack of trust Micromanagement Disorganized Dysfunctional The list could go on but you get the idea
