Great company - werkgeversreview Assistant Manager bij Allen-Edmonds

Resonable hourly plus decent commission rate

The store hours are budgeted so, during the off season sales slow, are a majority of the income for the position.

– You’ll learn exactly how not to run a heritage brand. – Ample opportunity to witness textbook examples of poor leadership, bad communication, and talent mismanagement. – If you’ve ever wanted a live case study in how shareholder-first thinking destroys product quality and culture, this is it. – Great training ground for patience, crisis management, and self-preservation skills. – Watching decades of brand equity burn down can be oddly educational.

– Management retaliates against employees who report misconduct, making ethical behavior a liability rather than an asset. – Product quality has been gutted to protect short-term margins; what was once premium is now barely mid-tier. – Culture is toxic, demoralizing, and leaderless; morale is at rock bottom and trending lower. – Talent retention is a revolving door; the company bleeds high performers and replaces them with under-qualified hires. – Communication from the C-suite is incoherent and reactive; “strategy” changes week to week with no clear direction. – Decisions are driven entirely by shareholder appeasement rather than stewardship of the brand, customers, or employees. – Advancement opportunities are nonexistent unless you’re willing to tolerate unethical behavior. – Every lesson learned here is about survival, not growth.
