Pros

PTO after 6 years starts to become generous. Constant product changes keep you informed on fashion trends. Peer staff can be great.

Cons

Davids used to be a company of purpose and heart. Throughout the years, they have lost their way and continue to decline in both financial stability and culture for its people. If you wonder what working for Donald Trump would be like, then look no further. The VP acts and says whatever he pleases, while not being required to follow company policies on things like dress codes. You will walk into negative emails from him questioning your leadership abilities the morning of a busy Saturday. The majority of those in middle management are absolutely terrified to say anything truthful or push back against executive directions because of the fear of losing your job. Davids is completely antiquated in technology, processes, reporting, expectations and management. They have failed to stay current with technology, pay rates, etc and have become more outdated then ever. Sales people make less then seasonal employees at Target. If you are considering management, let it be known that management in stores is always to be blamed for EVERYTHING. Corporate has no accountability for its actions or mistakes. You will be micro managed to chase down compliance in driving metrics for things that dont really work in addition to having unrealistic expectations and sales goals placed on you to ensure that you never make bonus. They will work you and take everything from you. Zero work life balance.

Pros

Fun place to work and nice to be apart of something bigger.

Cons

Total revolving door for employees, managers and everything else. No commission and store is worn down along with systems.
