Pros
Swiss Madison is the first company I've been hired at focused on the employee experience. I started in the order processing department and learned many aspects of different processes at my own pace. There is more emphasis on learning how to perform tasks correctly than on how quickly you can learn to do something. The tools and resources provided to employees for training are very easy to understand and utilize, and management is consistently patient when answering questions or providing explanations on items needing deeper clarification. The work environment is excellent for people who know how to effectively manage their time and prioritize tasks based on level of importance. Everyone respects tasks already in progress, and the culture is centered around being considerate of time, personal bandwidth, and the ability to have more than one project handled at a time.
Cons
The frequency of employee reviews conducted by department-specific management could be improved. HR is always open and available for whoever may need to speak with them. Still, there are times when people on a department management level are needed to go over department specifics. Managers tend to be involved in many different projects at a time, leaving little room to go over employee performance whether it's positive or negative.
