Pros

people are kind and willing to help each other

Cons

-outdated tools that make it hard to accomplish daily tasks and larger initiatives -micromanagement -rigid processes for approvals that take multiple rounds of feedback and extend the turnaround time (execution time is not always extended which puts pressure on teams executing) -Leadership is too focused on brand image, which can interfere with trying new ideas/concepts that could help the company. this often leads to teams doing the same things and wondering why we aren't seeing improvement -company tends to hire a lot of consultants into leadership roles that don't always have the right experience, which leads to challenges with understanding normal industry practices/standards and having uninformed expectations

Pros

• Strong brand recognition and a loyal customer base. • Employee discount and sample sales are excellent perks. • Talented and hardworking teams across many functions.

Cons

• Work-life balance is extremely challenging, particularly at the leadership level. Long hours and constant availability are often expected rather than the exception. • The culture can feel transactional and driven by a "got you" mentality rather than collaboration, coaching, and development. • Favoritism and nepotism are noticeable and can create inconsistent standards across teams and individuals. • Leadership accountability is lacking. Expectations are often high, but accountability is not always applied equally across the organization. • Decision-making can feel political, with perception carrying more weight than actual performance or results. • There is a significant gap between the company's external messaging and the internal employee experience. While the brand publicly champions women and female empowerment, many employees may find that the internal culture does not consistently reflect those values in practice. • Transparency, integrity, and trust can be lacking, which contributes to an environment where employees may feel unsupported or undervalued.
