Pros

The people (below upper management) are phenomenal, hard-working, driven, POSITIVE employees who want to succeed in their respective positions. Within each department there are beautiful, genuine people that made each day survivable.

Cons

The most bizarre company I have ever worked for. Intransigent upper management severely lack the knowledge and skill to be in their esteemed positions, yet prioritise the micromanagement of concepts they cannot grasp. During my tenure I witnessed inherent racism and ableism, comments made on staff members appearance, everyday belittling of staff (inc frequent yelling), leading to a hostile, insufferable culture. Delu-lu 'dream-keepers' and 'pace-makers' lead the way of creating an environment incompatible to their mission of 'inspiring women to live a life they love'. The only respite from the banality of working for an irrelevant brand was the 3pm Friday finishes (of which the 'privilege' later redacted). A truly esoteric experience I wish I had avoided by listening to the 'rumours' about the brand that are prominently circling throughout the industry.

Pros

There were no pros to working for this company.

Cons

Corporate had such unrealistic expectations and would micromanage by calling throughout the day asking all employees what the current sales numbers were at and what each employee would do to turn it around. There was barely any foot traffic and the regional manager would push for everyone to go through out the mall and food court to get people to come into the store, as well as stand in front of the store to lure people to come in. It was so cringey and seemed to turn customers away even more. It seemed and felt desperate. Everything was focused on numbers and not any concern for customers or employees at all. It seemed to have gone against everything Lorna Jane stood for and all the motivational “vibes” and sayings in stores and on clothing. It was cliquey and not an inclusive environment. The store manager was great and tried her best, but none of the employees would listen and basically wanted to sit on their phones instead of work and do things like basic tasks such as go-backs, make sure the store and merchandise was tidy and organized. Not unreasonable asks at all. There was even a pregnant employee who got in trouble by the regional manager for elevating her feet while on a break in the back. Crazy!
