Pros

Staff allowance is nice to have

Cons

Very toxic culture and behaviour from management which unfortunately is trickling down and being learnt from junior employees. The Boden brand portrays itself as a fun, uplifting brand and yet all of my surrounding colleagues and myself feel downtrodden and completely stripped of the happiness we had before we started. Unfortunately many people have handed in their notice with no job to go into (many people - double figures) and yet no-one has come back to the team with an explanation nor improvement. Not sure if Johnnie knows of this behaviour in his brand but I am not sure he would want the public to know the truths of what goes on in his company - time to change Boden, stand for your brand pillars and stop telling people ‘it’s fashion’. Such bad behaviour, avoid if possible or you will doubt your self worth down the line.

Pros

Their clothing allowance is nice.

Cons

Poor management and hr. Clear favoritism of employees. They give people advancements before they post the job position, so the job is filled but they let people interview any way, even though they know who they're hiring. The UK controls everything and doesn't include the US office on many events. Poor management. Lack of direction. High turnover. Miserable work environment with gossip and employees who are so underwhelmed with the way the company is run. Absolutely no opportunities for long term advancement. Not a place you'd want to retire from
