Pros

Once your Creative Director trusts in your work, you are free to be as creative as you want to be as well as manage your own projects within the company. Anything from helping with the photoshoots to creating a new garment.

Cons

No real downsides. Just have to work as hard as you possibly can to keep up with the company and stay on top of your weekly tasks to avoid an imbalance in work load.

Pros

I honestly can't think of any. You get a staff discount on the product but they seem to make up their own definitions of small, medium and large.

Cons

As soon as I accepted the position and told people where I was going, they would wish me good luck with a worried look on their faces. In hindsight, I wished I had listened to what I had originally put down as just rumours. - The office consists of mainly fear. Either keep your head down or become a sycophant to survive. - "Management" is autocratic and erratic. They constantly would say to do one thing then claim they never said it. - Shouting and tears would be a regular occurrence behind the office door. - A lot of smart people were fired, quit or even rage quit.

Pros

Global brand recognition (that's about it) Occasional sausage rolls or candy the owner puts out in the kitchen for sharing A toaster

Cons

I'm not sure if there has been prior investment in the building brand value, and because so the owner Sean Ashby claims that the brand where it is now it has completely been 'organic' (as claimed). The team consists of mostly these categories of people: 1. Those that don't speak English and need a job to stay in the country 2. Freshly graduated students who need experience on paper as their 'first job' I've also observed a continued trend and patterns of hiring 'yes' people that will say yes to all of Sean's irrational and unpredictable requests. There is also no strategic plan - but erratic tactical plans without actually having a proper segmentation or targeting in place. Basically, the place is a mess.
