I am writing this review for MISHA melbourne fashion brand. Do not work here! It's not worth the stress and anxiety you will get working in this place. The business is run by the owners, a married couple in their mid to late thirties. They are across every aspect of the business and are constantly sending emails and messages to everyone outside of business hours. They make you feel like you aren’t committed to your job or doing a good enough job if you do not reply to them quickly. Certain people in the business are expected to be contactable at all hours of the day, such as those in the marketing and sales team. The owners have terrible communication skills, they choose to keep everyone in the dark about what is going on in the business, with little to no communication. This keeps everyone on their toes, always wondering what is going on without ever having a clear directive from them. It is a small business with about 18 people, so everyone is overworked usually doing two roles in one. They keep a skeleton team to run the business and expect you to do overtime to get the job done. They do not care that you have a lot on your plate and expect you to do the job quickly and without any errors. They do not have structured role reviews and never give any feedback. If you want a title change or salary increase, you need to ask for it. In my experience, they said no to both to most people or kept you in limbo saying they would ‘consider it’. The owners don’t like it when you take days off for being sick or having a family emergency. There is no flexibility, you can’t work from home and they don’t like you taking time off to run a personal errand. The owners are constantly making poor business decisions which impacts everyone and creates more work because you need to backtrack, redo or fix the work that was already done. They change their mind constantly and have no sense of what the consequences are, or if they do, they don’t care. In all my years of experience in the fashion industry, I never met such terrible decision-makers with little to no understanding of their own business and the ins and outs of how the business runs. The owners take no accountability for their mistakes and put it on the staff. Even though most of the time the staff have acted out the owners instructions- usually last minute decisions or flippant change of mind with no logical thinking behind it. The owners don’t care about creating a positive work culture, they have terrible people and management skills. They manage to hire nice people but they can’t retain them, and they have a high staff turnover. They fire people on the spot by either making them redundant or saying they aren’t doing a good enough job. These owners are entitled and have ridiculously high expectations of their employees. They don’t care about people, it’s just transactional for them. They shower new people with attention and make you feel welcomed but once you’ve become settled and no longer the new shiny thing, they don’t talk to you and make you feel completely unseen and worthless. They have favourites, but even the favourites have expiry dates and they move on to the next new person. Overall this is a terrible company to work for. The owners are horrible people who only care about their gains. They make poor business decisions and have no business acumen. I would advise anyone to stay away and not waste their time with this business. I wish I had better things to say about them, but I do not.
