Pros

- Exposure to multiple departments across the fashion industry (design/production/etc) - Good discounts (40% and above)

Cons

- Poor management: Department manager/director lacks understanding of daily operations and offers little meaningful support. Check-ins feel performative, with no real concern for employee well-being. - Unrealistic expectations: KPIs and deadlines are set without regard for workload or staffing, making them nearly impossible to meet. - No work-life balance: Long hours and mandatory shifts are enforced, even during illness or emergencies. - Lack of job security: High turnover, including layoffs of long-tenured employees - Highest workload = Lowest pay across other departments
