Pros

Pay rate, remote working nice.

Cons

Communication is less about collaboration and more about controlled information—managers form exclusive circles with hand-picked technical resources, so knowledge gets filtered based on what they THINK you should know. The leadership pyramid is bloated with people who seem to exist solely to sit on calls, add zero value, and still collect a paycheck like it's an art form. Directors float through the organization like department store mannequins—eerily lifeless and somehow still in charge. When they do bring ideas to the table, expect those ideas to trip up your project faster than a clearance rack tumble. The company survives almost entirely thanks to a tiny fraction of loyal high-spend customers—without them, the whole operation would fold faster than a display table during a fire drill. Nearly everything here feels overcomplicated, underthought, and strategically allergic to common sense.

Pros

Before it was SAKS GLOBAL, NMG was very good at identifying when things needed to change in delivering to the clients faster, more efficiently, and with the same grace and style that the brand had held for more than a century. They also understood the concept of work-life balance; they understood how to help when someone was feeling overwhelmed.

Cons

The Saks buy-out changed that, and quickly. The fact that you had to essentially interview for your position, that you had already been doing well at, was the first indication that this was not a simple acquisition to increase the portfolio. It was hostile and not well thought out on the support side. Many positions were liquidated, and the responsibilities were given to staff that were already overwhelmed. Many time these positions were removed and then they paid outside contractors three times or more to realign the positions to the 'vision of the luxury market'. This usually meant that if you had some knowledge that the position existed, that you may be given that position and your own with no support to help you learn or get up to speed.
