Vantaggi
No pros. The only thing I've gained from working at this company is appreciation for the jobs I worked at afterwards, as the environment were no where near as toxic
Svantaggi
My short time at the Steve Madden Canada head office was the worst work experience I have ever had. Management is essentially made up of two people who truly could not care less about their employees. The culture is rotten and toxic. In my time with the company, I have both witnessed and experience bullying, rudeness, condescension, threats, name calling, etc. On a daily basis, you will see people yelling at each other, which has often led to people having to leave work in tears, a lot of gossiping amongst employees, employees being pitted against one another, often times by management, etc. There are some employees who have been with the company since its opening of the Canadian location, who started at a young age and aged with the company. They are major contributors to the toxic work environment as they are stuck in their ways, which is probably why the company's culture has not evolved. New comers do not last very long, as they are often scared away in the first couple of months of employment. If you are thinking about accepting an employment offer from this company, I urge you to think about your decision very hard.
