Fast-paced and pressured environment with overworked employees
Pros
- The finance team is growing and generally a friendly team. - Top level management seem to be making the right business decisions which is reflected in growth of the Coach, Kate Spade and SW brands. - Staff discount - Sample sale - Potential opportunities to visit the New York office for training - Above average salary for a graduate position - Summer Fridays - Wellness weeks offering wellness activities e.g. meditation lessons
Cons
- 9am to 6pm on usual days, expect to work much later during the close period and not to get compensated on hours in less busier weeks. - No work/life balance in teams - managers generally work past 7pm most days. - High workload in the finance department since acquiring other brands - all senior analysts and managers are being spread too thin - Stressed environment during close periods - Long notice periods for every position even on a contract - If you plan on studying you may struggle to balance the amount of work you have with studying.
