Pros

ONLY pro's are summer Fridays and week off between Christmas and New Years.

Cons

Work life balance is poor. New CEO is nothing more than a fall guy for Chairman. He will be blamed for plumetting sales and will be fired albeit it is the chairman's mess. Brands are in a complete state of disaray. Stock is falling faster than the Dow in 2008. Company is an absolute disaster right now. HR people have quit. Layoffs just started in the US and of course nothing is happening in Europe due to tight labor laws. My entire department staff are seeking other employment. This is like witnessing a train wreckin slow motion.They have added many layers of VP's/SVP's/EVP's since aquisition but down at the bottom we are receiving no support. We are not building brands. Grey market is a joke. Our brands are flooded across discount retailers and websites that should not have our product. It is a shame what has happened to this company in the past 5 years.Now it is simply about pushing product to market to try to meet a financial number. Once a fabulous company it is in a complete state of disrepair.

Pros

Going into nice stores and doing what I love in an easy job, helping clients

Cons

Executive management takes credit for sales achieved when they do not even come into stores favoritism is given to friends. Management has family and friends on the payroll. Work that is beyond my scope and pay grade is constantly being given to me so management doesn’t have to work. Friends given money out of budget for hours not worked. Gratis meant for teams withheld and only given to friends and selectively. Management asks freelance employees for money for miscellaneous things and if u get on their wrong side you will be told there are no hours. Mis allocation of budgets and gratis to other Account execs in the market to incentivize them to sell. Pics turned in to make it look like management is attending stores they are not . Not effectively managed for best of company, its effectively misused for the executive leadership.
