Pros

Chill/laid back work environment Occasional free food Cute guys 50% discount I can't think of any other pros and this section requires at least 20 words. Overall I would avoid this job if you want REAL fashion experience. This position is more of a problem solving, please fix this issue and make it happen, not an analyst role.

Cons

Disorganized and out of touch with current trends. Focus is only on footwear and apparel takes a backseat to everything else.
