Toxic, bad leadership - Anonymous employee Softline Brand Partners Employee Review

Right from the start, my supervisors treated me like a member of the team and took my ideas seriously. My internship position had a lot of flexibility and space for me to figure out where my skills were best suited. I was able to take on some interesting and creative projects and given the opportunity to present new business ideas to the company. And the working environment was very positive and supportive! My supervisors always made themselves accessible to answer questions and made sure to always tell me what I was doing right and give me constructive feedback. The internship position itself was very well-structured, especially given that I was the first intern in this position. I always had a solid idea of what I was supposed to be doing and why.

Because they'd never had an intern before, they didn't have a process in place to pay an intern's stipend as opposed to an hourly salary. As a result, my first paycheck was significantly delayed. When I brought it up, my supervisors were very apologetic and made sure to get me the money as soon as possible.

- Medical insurance premium is paid by Softline. - Paid Holidays - PTO

- Entry level pay and people with little to no on the job training. - Management was very belittling if something was done incorrectly. - Lack of empowerment and support from management resulted in lack of responsibility across the organization. - No clear path for career growth - No 401K, Life Insurance, maternity leave Overall, a toxic work environment. I felt like the company did not want to invest in their employees but expected us to give 150%.
