Pros

Frette is a storied company once known for top quality linens.

Cons

I've never worked for a company that was so dysfunctional. 1) Tech systems were in the dark ages and databases and highly vulnerable.I understand that this is still very much the case. Client should therefore be instructed to use cash rather than credit cards) 2) Top management micromanaged details that were even below the on-site's managers duties. Management generally was generally not supportive, and not open to new ideas or even constructive feedback. Long-standing practice of "shoot the messenger." 3) Promised employee benefits are miserable. 4) Company quietly cheapened a number of it products with resulting performance issues and inherent flaws. 4) Sales staff often found it impossible to locate stock for clients and may have to contact a number of different Frette sales locations to simply fill even the simplest of orders. 4) Though based in Italy, style selections were dated, limited, and had no relation to prevailing design preferences. 5) There was the ongoing mystery of how decision-makers were chosen for positions that they previously had no professional experience in.
