Pluspunten

Employee discount is very generous

Minpunten

All of the managers are robots and they expect the sales staff to be the same. The micro-management of employees is unbelievable. No matter how much experience you have had in a successful retail career with respect to sales, they want you to do it only the "Coach" way, which is like the Stepford Wives (look it up). The managers constantly follow you around the store. After you have interacted with a customer, they pepper you with questions, such as "Did you suggest a wallet?"..."What about a keyring?"..."Why aren't they buying anything?"... It's truly a nightmare. You may think it is prestigious to work at Coach, but if you enjoy being treated like an automaton, then work here. Most people like being treated as individuals. There is no room for individuality or creativity at this company. Also, they schedule you to do floor sets at unrealistic times, such as working until midnight the day before Thanksgiving... giving you no time whatsoever to prepare your dinner and home for a family visit on the holiday the next day. In addition, the managers do not permit you to take breaks despite the break periods being clearly outlined in the employee manual. If you are passionate about retail, this is NOT the place for you!

Pluspunten

- fast paced days with lots of client interaction and team building moments - fun product dropped monthly with opportunities to be the first to own popular drops - opportunities to grow* - a great starting place to learn how to provide an elevated shopping experience and learn how to build a client book

Minpunten

- * Opportunities to grow only present themselves if you have a positive relationship with the management team and/or the DM - Corporate tends to lead on candidates and promise advancements or change verbally but little is done to correct behavior or advance within the company - Your store manager will determine whether the team is harmonious and fair, can be a double edged sword - you will be asked to do tasks or take on projects outside of your position with no additional compensation. It will be heavily frowned upon to decline said opportunities and tended to lead to being denied advancements - during ICE activities in the city, Coach refused to make a statement and or provide guidelines to how we as a store should respond. Associates were punished for absences related back to ICE activities
