Pros

Like everyone else is saying in the reviews: There's free lunch on Friday's, free clothes, 300 allowance for personals on REVOLVE, workers are young and relatively friendly. Work environment is very laid back.

Cons

With all that being said, I don't care too much about free food and clothes when I'm making slightly above average -_- they need to pay their employees more! They'd rather distract everyone with the "perks" than actually pay them what they're worth. This company plays a lot on favoritism and doesn't reward the people who are actually hardworking and helping the company grow! Additionally, all it takes is to say you're leaving and they'll be at your feet trying to offer you more when they should just pay more to start with. This company makes millions and is one of the lowest paying in the LA fashion industry. Do your research their are companies whose starting rate is way more. Also, they're so unorganized and all over the place

Pros

There are no pros besides the option to work remotely.

Cons

This company enables liars and thieves and expects their employees to cater to them with ease. The quality of product they are selling is a joke and the warehouse doesn't seem to inspect outgoing merchandise so as a cx serv rep I was dealing with angry customers receiving used and crotch-stained or damaged merchandise. I have worked in retail for over 16 years and have never had so much anxiety and hatred for my job. The beginning pay rate is crap compared to the job expectations and you don't have an opportunity for a wage increase until 3 months (4 with initial training) which they don't seem to care if you are a high-performing employee. Basically you are busting your butt for nothing bc no one cares unless you screw up. That's when you get any sort of interaction. Worst months of my life and my only regret is the time wasted that I could have spent with my child. This job made me literally sick to my stomach every day that I had to clock in. Don't waste your time if you have any experience. Unless you truly enjoy being disrespected, talked down upon, used, taken advantage of, and are desperate. This is coming from an agent outperforming seasoned employees getting paid more than me. Not even sure how this company makes any revenue.

Pros

50% discount on clothes, free lunches on Thursday, and happy hours once or twice a week with free beer. Unfortunately these are just things used to mask the pay structure and the extremely contrasting difference between hourly and salary employees. If you're lucky enough to have went to school with one of the owners or are friends with someone already in a managerial position you'll love working here. Salary employees make a vast amount more and receive additional benefits like double the amount of vacation, extended lunches, shorter days, brand new equipment, etc. This isn't conjecture either almost everyones salary/hourly pay is known here due to a rampant amount of gossip and lack of confidentiality. Which is compounded by HRs inability to enforce anything with any sort of consistency. That being said it's a very drug friendly place (wether or not that is a pro or con is up to you) On any given day you can find people going to their cars to smoke weed before, during, and after work. It's often not even attempted to hide. People will sometimes do it directly outside the building HR is located in. This can be anyone from the owner to people from the warehouse. So I suppose that's the one instance of all the employees being treated equal. Every once in a while the managers will tell their teams not to do it but it's never enforced so whats the point.

Cons

There's little room for growth here. There will be plenty of promises upon hiring but in reality most of the departments have few higher positions from your initial hire. The few opportunities that do open up occasionally are usually filled on a "who's friends with who" basis rather than on merit or experience. That being said if you're in good with someone from senior management you'll have no problem getting promoted. Definitely not recommended for anyone hoping to work hard and move up without constantly playing politics. There is a vast distinction between salary and hourly positions as well. Our department was using equipment that was several years old and unreliable but were denied upgrades while at the same time other departments and new hires were given top of the line brand new equipment. If you're hourly you'll also get the brunt of most of the extra work when it comes to new projects or holidays. With all the salary employees rushing to get done early for the holidays or take an extended weekend it usually leaves the hourly employees picking up the slack. While we do get paid OT does that make up for a week of 11+ hour days leading all the way up to Christmas Eve. Or coming in on the weekends when everyone else is enjoying a nice 3 day weekend. The laid back party vibe is nice initially but quickly wears thin. When you're waiting for images or to finish something and everyone is outside having a beer or smoking because it's Friday it can get frustrating. Of course trying to deal with people who are obviously under the influence of alcohol or drugs can be equally frustrating. What do in their free time is their own business but when I go to leave at the end of the day I shouldn't have to walk through a circle of people passing a blunt around. Those examples would be where most people would think "Why dont you contact HR" That in itself is a whole other issue. There's little that ever gets accomplished going to them other than being told to more or less "suck it up" I wouldn't even suggest "anonymously" complaining about issues because theres a 99% chance whoever you complain about will find out. This will often lead to issues just be shrugged off or not reported due to fear of retaliation or drama. There's also more value on hiring less experienced and/or unqualified employees who will work for less than paying more for qualified experienced hires.
