Abusive CEO - VP Sales Hawke & Co. Employee Review

- One gets to work with an incredibly experienced and progress driven team. -The team really IS a team. -One gets the opportunity to work with and gain exposure to major accounts, not limited but including, Macy’s, TJ-Max, BJ’s, and countless other accounts -Good pay, especially for those in sales, and full benefits

- The industry is fast paced, pressurized, and strictly deadline based, it’s not for everyone.

Sadly, many who remain are either too demoralized to leave or have been conditioned to accept dysfunction as normal!

Having worked in the outerwear industry for years, I can say that this company is widely known for its toxic internal culture. Leadership, particularly the owner and the sales lady create a hostile work environment that fosters fear, not growth. Management behavior often crosses professional boundaries, and psychological safety is virtually nonexistent. The turnover rate is alarmingly high, and many of the employees who remain do so because they feel they have no other options. There’s little to no support, mentoring, or appreciation. only intimidation, blame shifting, and micromanagement. If you’re considering joining this company, I would strongly recommend doing thorough research and speaking to former employees beforehand. You’ll hear the Word ‘Psycho’ more than once.
