Bonobos reviews about "team"

Literally everything else. Managers will constantly hound you on converting every footstep, to the point where we’ve been told to chase people out of the door in order to buy something. I’ve watched management push people into $500+ purchases that clearly couldn’t afford their products. There’s almost no support from upper management to the guideshops. CONSTANT staffing issues, can’t say I ever worked in a fully staffed store. Even when the guideshops do have the staff, there’s inconsistencies everywhere with training. You may luck out and have an invested manager to train you, or end up being thrown in with no assistance, there’s no almost no in between. And not to mention, but if the stores are short staffed, which they always are, it makes it substantially harder to make bonus which can easily knock $1000 off your check monthly. They also use said bonuses as leverage upon hiring to pay qualified people much less. The closest I’ve ever seen upper management come to actually assisting the stores is occasionally reposting your LinkedIn posts. Extremely toxic and gossipy environment.

- Frequent organizational changes can create uncertainty - hard to keep up with shifting priorities and new initiatives

pay scale not great poor morale

Not really any, except it's a concept thats a bit strange for new customers walking in the door. But once they get it, they tend to love it.

Sometimes it can be daunting working with the customers given the different business model

Not much room for growth and compensation could have been better.

It's retail..there are tough days

Outdated systems and incompatibility between the platforms and systems. They can’t even get the wifi to work in the office. Lack of process, dysfunctional, workplace led by ineffective leaders. No check points in place for consistency or quality, and leadership does nothing to set standards and process to improve the product. A few genuinely nice, talented people, but overshadowed by a toxic, gaslighting clique of lazy individuals (mostly on the production and design teams) that have been with the company 8+ years. It’s a miracle any of these people have made it to adulthood successfully. Current leadership protects these people and promotes the worst of them for the sake of having their minions do the grunt work. Be prepared to walk on eggshells daily. Crying and whining are core values at Bonobos, it is championed. If you attempt to ask for clarification or try to implement any process, you will be labeled negative, become topic for gossip, and ostracized. You’ll be told to “dig in”and “take ownership” of your area, when there’s nothing to own because it’s all a mess. Leadership isn’t effective and changes often. They say all the things: that they want to improve the processes and implement new ones, etc but nothing changes. Double standards and FAVORITISM are real at Bonobos. HR is a joke, they’re so fake and practically non-existent. Ridiculous bi-monthly Town Calls on Fridays where they sing to you and promote “a positive, inclusive culture”, and post fake numbers for the business. They literally lie about financials and profitability. It’s only a matter of time before Walmart figures out they’re just bleeding money here and gets rid of this brand.

customer traffic can be slow
