Pros
The CEO that seemed to be causing some problems is no longer with the company! When that announcement was made, it was like a giant weight was lifted off the collective chests of all employees. The interim CEO has some knowledge about the apparel industry and seems like a friendly guy (both of which are new concepts in Spanx leadership) - hopefully it trickles down. They seem to be hiring more people to help ease the workload although I'm not sure if they are going for quality or quantity with some of the new hires. Annual salaries are okay, although when you factor in the total hours worked you are looking at a relatively low hourly rate. Benefits are great too, if you have time to use them and go to the doctor, dentist, etc.
Cons
The company is still run like a startup - from Human Resources to Senior Management. HR is nothing more than a pretty face with zero past experience in HR and employment law (which will be great for when an employee sues the company - it's only a matter of time). Directors have been there since the beginning but like others, they have no idea how the business really works. All they know is the Spanx way - they are a bunch of "yes ma'ams" who are afraid to make decisions and possibly lose their jobs which would suck because there's no way any of the Directors could get hired at another company if their lives depended on it. Someone, somewhere came up with some completely absurd projected sales figures. Nobody knows how they arrived at those numbers and even worse, nobody has any idea how to attain them. The actual sales numbers are so far below plan that nobody will likely get their bonus for 2013, which is really annoying since there is no hesitation to spend tens of thousands of dollars on renovating the office (the office we are moving out of in a year). Spanx messes with your head and even worse, with your livelihood. People are voluntarily leaving Spanx at an extremely high rate - that says a lot about the company and how it is run.
