Chic Funeral Parlor - Recensione dipendente - Senior Buyer presso Barneys

people you work with are great

customers feel entitled to treat you badly

As far as retail goes, it didn't get any better than Barneys. One year of working at Barneys = a 4 year Fashion Merchandising degree from any college. Exposure to the best designer products in an environment that felt more like a big, eccentric, rich person's closet than a department store. Fun, interesting employees, and great employee discount.

Toxic, arrogant, upper-level "management" that drove the company into the ground. They loved to externalize blame and evade accountability, but they ultimate ruined Barneys. They sterlized the brand, over-expanded into irrelevant markets, failed to understand the aesthetic of the company, and hired numerous other "executives" who were equally incompetent. The last two CEOs were straight from hell.
