HELL IN DISGUISE

Pros

I made a few friends while there. I got to attend a few small-scale company related events.

Cons

Nearly all of the upper level positions in corporate are held by people who have literally never worked anywhere other than Kendra Scott. They have zero experience, yet they are the ones essentially running the corporate office. I was bullied by grown women and talked about behind my back for not dressing like a sorority girl. Everyone in management is extremely passive aggressive and will never approach you to correct a situation. They just wait until it spirals out of control, and then they lay the blame on the people who choose not to be apart of their specific clique. Kendra herself is a very unpleasant, dramatic, and erratic personality. She has cursed and yelled at employees, fired people who do not fit in to what she thinks is the image of her company (if you worked there, you'd discover very quickly there is little to NO diversity), and completely disregarded basic personal needs of her staff, all the while giving interviews and speeches on how she is philanthropic and family oriented. She has very little involvement in the design process as well, other than pulling magazine pages. She doesn't and can't draw, she doesn't use CAD, or anything else relevant or necessary to designing. I worked well over 50 hours each week, and was paid very little hourly. When I began needing to take weekends off so I could have some sort of personal life (I was hired as a corporate employee, Mon-Fri), there as absolutely no room for discussion. I had to work nearly 7 days a week.

Pros

Fun growing company that offers lots of opportunities for younger women.

Cons

i find that the women who are older that are hired that may have many years of professional experience are not valued or respected by the manager or other employees at the retail level. They are just seen as "moms" and not for being a women who have years of experience and wisdom and can add tremendous value to the organization. Their talents are not respected or utilized.
