Im going to need therapy after this job - Men's Apparel Designer Marine Layer Employee Review

amazing environment and team and space

none this place rocks my socks

Clothes discount - comes with constant pressure to buy their overpriced clothes

Ditto to what other reviews have states about the company - Never a consistent and standardized training and onboarding process for new hires in the stores, at any position, even up to district managers. In spite of multiple requests for standardized training materials, promoting someone into a "Learning and Development" role for retail teams (who prioritized low impact process changes instead of high impact training materials), leaders creating and recreating new training guides, the company still did not prioritize a standardized training for new hires or promotions. -- To make this reality worse, leaders were then expected to performance manage employees who were not "meeting expectations" of company standards, when there was no guarantee that employee had even been trained properly to begin with. Marine Layer is exceptional at holding their employees to standards that were never communicated or standards that were completely unrealistic due to lack of training and support from higher ups. Hours cut to minimal - not worth staying for minimal pay and schedule up in the air weekly/monthly. Employee morale low, the environment fused by managers to talk badly of other employees, really not a kind and professional environment. But what do you expect when pay is low and hiring of kiddo's with very little work/life experience.
