Pros

great clothing discount and some great people, but these great people usually leave after a few years with this company. Make sure you keep in touch with these great people because you will need them to help you escape from this horrible company.

You won't get anywhere and they won't like you unless you fit the following criteria: white & blonde (this is the IT look), talk with the following accents (British, French, German and sometimes Italian). if you're ethnic you NEED to be very WHITE on the outside, if you don't fit any of those criteria then you must look like a runway model. Don't know why this company keeps bragging about being a profitable company when they're "Extremely cheap" to hard working employees. You need to be director level and up to get a yearly bonus. No Christmas party or gift for employees. Sends out constant emails telling employees to donate to charity in their name. Maximum yearly raise is 3% if your lucky. Most employees only get 1.5% (excuse is "there's NO budget in the dept"). If you have friends working for other companies in the fashion/apparel industry you'll learn fast that you've been taken as a sucker at Polo. People in other companies with lower titles make twice as much. Upper managements are a bunch of idiots. Mines didn't even know how to use Excel or Outlook, always yelling over to ask me to fix their computer when they press the wrong button. They don't do any real work, just sit at their desk and chat on the phone all day. They go home at six on the dot but make you stay late to do their work that they dump on you at the last minute. Most of those VOLUNTEER-ing (Light the Night Walk, Helping Hands, Free Arts for Kids, Aids Walk, Pink Pony Walk) from team Polo is fake. Some people do volunteer but most are too busy so upper management makes it MANDATORY (force) for their underlings to participate and they're still required to have their work done on time. All those available jobs openings all the time is not because the company is growing is because people resign in batches. There's more horror things I can't fit here but this is the truth so if you do apply to Polo it's at your own risk. It it a slave life. Your treated like a own property that is told to jump when your told to. Don't expect any respect or reach out to HR for help when you feel disrespected. HR is for the company. They will give you 2 options only quit or continue to put up with the nonsense.

Pros

- Great employee discounts - Socially healthy team members - Investment in new tools and technologies - Amazing and iconic brand - Some interesting people working on cool projects

Kontras

The global leaders in charge of the upcoming AI Center of Excellence seem really confused and disorganized. There's been a lot of confusion and frustration around increasing AI integration across the organization. Upper management prefers to hire external consultants and is considering to seek external people instead of including existing employees that already have AI and Data Science experience to the table. Global Leaders have zero interest speaking to internal employees that are AI experts unless if they are VP level or above. Very political and disappointing. There is some lack of clarity and miscommunication in the AI initiative. At least they are more tactful, respectful, and sharp than the RLS-NA business planning team.
