                Pros

                Open to ideas and feedback in the visual merchandising department, locally and globally. A small VM team but everyone is positive and encouraging to work with.

                Cons

                Every month there's an event/activation being organised due to the continual re-branding campaign that the brand is still doing. Great fun when there's always something to look forward to but it also gets very tiring physically

                      You get to work with different teams around the world, and the work is very interesting. There is a lot of strategic thinking involved and it is overall a very exciting company to work for.

                      Cons

                      Structure is a bit rigid - a lot of guidelines to adhere to as the company wishes to maintain high level of quality and consistency.

                        Great exposure to the retail world, first part-time job (Singapore based) and colleagues were all friendly. Gained more knowledge on the products.

                        Cons

                        Management a little slow as they do not prioritise part-timers as much as permanent staffs.
