Pros
Opportunities looked bright for a new brand with seemingly limitless possibilities for growth and strong (private) financial backing.
Cons
Understaffed corporate office ; sixty- seventy hour work weeks are the expectation for every employee I worked with- and no thanks or appreciation ever shown. Work loads are unmanageable and regular mistakes made by unqualified senior level team members (merchants and PD especially) trickle down to create even MORE work for everyone else. Inexperienced senior execs given too much power. Lack of process, broken systems and an overwhelmed HR office make for a miserable experience with no outlet provided for relief. Total lack of respect- not just for employees but also for vendors, suppliers, manufacturers- and worse yet: customers. Cheapest possible product marked up as much as the market will bear.
