Pros

Office location and employee benefits

Cons

Reorganization is a yearly event even before Covid. There are far too many salary discrepancies between employees with similar experience and job title. They are hiring foreigners with very low base compared to the market therefore not motivated and leaving in 6 months. Management board is milking the company since years, strategic or capable of talking to each other (they hate each other’s in private meetings while in public they show love and trust, especially Sales & Controlling MB members. They make their teams fight to the other MB members teams, there is 0 collaboration between departments and no crossfunctioanl work. Politics, lack of transparency, ambiguity, dishonesty ... People are fired, hired and promoted completely randomly, but definitely not for their skills or talent, rather "back-stabbing" skills. High numbers of Italians un upper management translate in 40% of Italians in the company, increasing year over year (friends and family) Bonus is “fake” as in 4 years it has been not paid or less than 30% Lots of burnout cases, no one cares. HR is not existing in the company. I hope I’m wrong as I still work here with many colleagues, but the current trend of the company will make it to disappear in less than expected.

Pros

great introduction into luxury retail, great sales training, coworkers are very friendly, management really cares about you and is very nice but can get rude when stressed. generally a nice place to work, clean, very easy job overall, you make team bonuses which raise hourly to as much as 22 and hour

Cons

micromanaging from corporate, disorganized management, moderate turnover, things get stressful but also fun during busy seasons
