Strong brand, but employee experience has declined

Pros

- Great place to gain experience with strong European-style benefits - Supportive, collaborative colleagues - Historically offered good work-life balance - Consistent annual cost-of-living adjustments - Maintaining DEI initiatives

Cons

The company has historically had a fun and inspiring culture that helped balance out mid-range salaries. Recently, however, the focus has shifted heavily on profit growth, which has made employee development, engagement, and culture feel less prioritized. As a result, morale and stability have been impacted. - Employee Listening Survey has not been conducted in over two years (previously annual). Leadership is not soliciting feedback. - RTO requirement increased to 4 days/week in US, even after strong results under more flexible policies - Reorgs with layoffs and limited communication threaten job security - Flatter reporting structures make growth pathways unclear - Less emphasis on ERGs and employee community initiatives - Workloads have grown due to ambitious targets and competing priorities - Career progression opportunities are limited: mostly cost-of-living increases, with few promotions or new roles - Pay bands were raised for new hires, but many existing employees with multi year role tenure have not seen same adjustments to match market levels

Flexible work environment, great company if you're into sports and competition.

Cons

No cons outside of the retail industry as a whole being challenging with external factors such as the economy and tariff impacts on imports
