RUN AWAY - Marketing Perry Ellis International Employee Review

Pros

Your colleagues. The one place where your colleagues support and encourage you in leaving in finding something better than this deranged toxic environment. People would send each other job openings and were open to connecting each other to other outside colleagues in search of leaving the company.

Cons

Nepotism, toxicity, out of touch, ego driven and Stockholm Syndrome are main themes. Employees work so hard where people are doing five jobs going unappreciated. Upper management exponentially hire top heavy without giving recognition to the ones that carry the workload on their shoulders. No accountability is given and blame is the name of the game. During pandemic, employees were forced to come in full time every day, and if not, were told bothered to not come in and that we should be grateful we have a job (this was including mothers who were uncomfortable in finding childcare in the middle of the pandemic). From a business perspective, there is no strategy, reactionary and emotional done without thought or logical thinking.

Pros

From the interview process through onboarding, everyone has been welcoming, professional, and supportive. The leadership team has demonstrated a clear commitment to customer experience, operational excellence, and cross-functional collaboration. I was particularly impressed by the emphasis placed on customer satisfaction, process improvement, and empowering teams to succeed. The role offers an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful impact by supporting well-known brands such as Original Penguin and Callaway Golf Apparel while working alongside talented professionals across multiple departments. While I’m still new to the organization, I am optimistic about the future and excited to contribute to the continued growth and success of the business.

Cons

None that I can see.

Pros

Continue investing in training and onboarding resources, especially for new team members learning multiple systems and processes at once. Creating even more opportunities for cross-team communication and feedback could also help employees feel even more supported and connected as the company continues to grow. Overall, maintaining the positive culture and collaborative environment is what makes the experience stand out.

Cons

High-stress environment, low morale across teams, limited work-life balance, and leadership styles that can feel outdated, overly harsh, and intimidating. Communication and employee support often felt lacking, and the company culture felt more corporate than creative despite being in the fashion industry. Professional growth and mentorship opportunities also seemed limited depending on the department.
