Pros

My experience at Coach has been phenomenal. For a retail company (which are some of the worst to work for), I have gained so much experience and being pushed out of my comfort zone on the daily was very beneficial to my professional skills. As a male selling high-end fashion items to predominantly female customers, it was not easy by any means, however I felt more rewarded when I had more satisfied customers. They really ensure that you are growing within your position. They also are very good about rewarding you for your efforts with store credits, and a shared commission if your team makes its monthly goals. There was not a day that I didn't feel comfortable in the Coach environment.

Cons

Leadership turnover seemed to be a problem, but it's that way in any retail environment. Also, for the efficiency they expect with their hourly employees in terms of merchandising and operations, they need to streamline their efforts and practices as any corporate direction and communication seemed to be very convoluted and confusing.

Pros

- fast paced days with lots of client interaction and team building moments - fun product dropped monthly with opportunities to be the first to own popular drops - opportunities to grow* - a great starting place to learn how to provide an elevated shopping experience and learn how to build a client book

Cons

- * Opportunities to grow only present themselves if you have a positive relationship with the management team and/or the DM - Corporate tends to lead on candidates and promise advancements or change verbally but little is done to correct behavior or advance within the company - Your store manager will determine whether the team is harmonious and fair, can be a double edged sword - you will be asked to do tasks or take on projects outside of your position with no additional compensation. It will be heavily frowned upon to decline said opportunities and tended to lead to being denied advancements - during ICE activities in the city, Coach refused to make a statement and or provide guidelines to how we as a store should respond. Associates were punished for absences related back to ICE activities
