Cons

Pirch is the worst managed company due to the mismanagement of company funds and senior leadership. During my employment Pirch started off unable to pay their vendors and customers paid for product and they had to wait for delivery because the customer funds were used to pay for company expenses. Employees were unable to travel because the corporate credit card was declined due to non payment. The hiring process is the worst case of nepotism. They posted a job requiring a college degree and they hired someone without degree and no experience because they were friends with someone on the leadership team. The leadership team made promises to the entire company on new software, new processes, and financial stability and not one statement became true. Pirch opened a brand new showroom in Austin, TX in May 2017 and ceased operation 5 months later which resulted in the termination of all employees.

When our leadership team started less than a year ago, there were a lot of inherited problems including vendor holds and lack of control on expenses. The current leadership team worked diligently to reduce our operating expenses and successfully get the vendor holds released. We’ve hired over 100 people in the last year and some of the top talent has been employee referrals throughout the company (all levels and locations). We’ve had to make some tough decisions on our strategy and closing Austin was just as frustrating to us as everyone else, but we are taking a very thoughtful approach and continue to stay focused on creating a profitable PIRCH. We appreciate your service and time with PIRCH.

Pros

Currently? I cannot think of a single Pro. The former leadership really took care of their employees. Not with money but with investing in the employee herself. The CEO, COO, CFO & VP OF SALES would always address you by name, with a company that has 600+ employees that is impressive. They almost ran PIRCH out business. In hindsite I wish they would have. Then I wouldn't have had to deal with the new "leadership".

Cons

Current "leadership" literally could not care any less for their employees. Fired or pushed out so many hardworking folks, to make room for more of their VP cronies. Two of the new "leadership" that didn't come from Oakley came with the experience of putting an appliance store or 2 out of business, namely HH Greg and Circuit City. At least they did that right cuz they did little more than that.

The people in this organization still are the heart and soul of PIRCH. To your point the reason the former leadership team isn’t here was due to mismanagement of the company for several years. We’ve had to re-explore and re-evaluate the footprint of this company. These are tough times at PIRCH and we’ve had to make some tough decisions. We believe these decisions, together with our passionate employees at PIRCH, will help us re-focus our success in our core markets. We appreciate your continued focus and leadership on the floor through this transition.
