Warning: Career Suicide - Senior Buyer Forever 21 Employee Review

Zero path for career development - you only take orders from the family and you aren't allowed to make decisions for yourself. Every cost, color, thread option and every other minuscule decision needs to be approved by an executive - even if you're a DMM. The daughters control much of the company now and they have high social anxiety. They're unable to handle confrontation and can't look at you when they speak - they spend 90% of their time looking at their cell phones to buffer themselves from the reality around them. Favoritism and throwing your co-workers under the bus is how you get ahead. Those that go on mission trips or attend the family's church tend to get ahead - those that don't tend to stay where they are. Team work is not encouraged and cross-functional meetings are frowned upon. Essentially they just want you at your desk doing what you're told. High-stress job for not a lot of return. High sense of anxiety and paranoia throughout the entire company. There is zero trust within the family and that permeates down to every person that works there. They won't even let you print in color because they have no money. lol. If you want to print in color - Mr. Chang needs to approve it.
