Bullying and bad product. - Anonymous employee Old Navy Employee Review

There was a sorority-like culture amongst the large group of female employees at Old Navy corporate and if you didn't play the part, or if you challenged ideas, then you were frowned upon. There was a fake attitude that was displayed in a group settings and bullying in smaller groups. I raised a concern to HR and they were completely oblivious to what was going on. Then, when I learned that other colleagues had also gone to HR and expressed they same issues, once again, they explained, "we've never received any complaints like this before?" I found myself trying to hang -in-there and modify how I worked and interacted with the team, but this got me nowhere, and found myself running to the bathroom to hide & cry in silence. I eventually left the company, which was long overdue, but my memories there were nothing miserable. Also, most of the product is overly-designed...you're not reinventing the wheel, just make cool stuff that people actually want wear.
