Pros
- Interesting career in a sports related industry - Some (not many) really nice people work here (Work for Marketing team if you must join this company) - Opportunities to attend sporting events
Kontras
- Head Buyers have absolutely no buying experience and cannot grow you in your career. They buy apparel based on the clothes they think are cute but it is not backed by sales data - therefore, you end up with too much inventory that no one wants. - Owners do not care about the people who work for them. They are often incredibly rude and severely lack self awareness. I would also include the COO in this statement even though he isnt a part of the owning family, he is still incredibly rude and unprofessional. - When you go to HR for confidential concerns regarding improper behavior from your leadership, they will go talk to that leadership instead of communicating with you to support you. - There is a buyer who has been on staff a while who makes constant mistakes and gets away with it because she is best friends with the Head Buyer. However, if you make a mistake while learning, you are ignored and treated poorly instead of coached. - Minimum compensation. - Minimal diversity and inclusion
