Faherty Brand

Pros:
Faherty offers a strong product and a brand that resonates well with customers. The merchandise quality is solid, and customers are generally engaged and loyal, which makes the sales side of the role rewarding. 
Cons:
The internal team environment was not collaborative. Communication and cooperation varied significantly depending on personal relationships rather than role or responsibility. Favoritism played a noticeable role in scheduling, feedback, and whose input was taken seriously. There was also a lack of professionalism at times, including dismissive communication and inconsistent expectations. Age bias and social dynamics appeared to influence decision-making more than performance or experience, which made it difficult to work effectively as part of a cohesive team.
Advice to Management:
Establish clearer standards for professionalism, accountability, and communication across all team members. A more consistent and merit-based approach to leadership would significantly improve morale and operational effectiveness.
Overall:
The brand and product are strong, but the management and team culture would need meaningful improvement to support a healthy, respectful, and collaborative work environment.

I feel like for the average retail associate who just puts in the time and hours and then goes home, Faherty is an upbeat and generally positive work experience. For anyone who is trying to advance through the ranks, it seems Faherty would much rather hire from recruiters for management positions than promote from within. This is always a huge blow to team morale, who have to train managers making easily twice their income. I also didn’t feel like I was given to opportunity to grow as a leader or expand, despite being told I was supported by upper management and encouraged to do so. Ultimately, after coming up against several walls again and again, and not feeling like my efforts or intense dedication was being recognized, I left the company after being offered a leadership position elsewhere. Generally, I think it was important to express wanting to be listened to, HR and upper management was generally compassionate. I think overall the folks there have their hearts in the right places, even if things are disorganized at times. It’s good to see a company trying to balance expansion with their ethics, and I enjoyed most of the people I worked with.

I don't want to make this too involving...

Do not fall for the "Good Vibes" they promote. Too many grey areas offer many opportunities for being "thrown under the bus". For example: the set expectation of professionalism is only flexed when it's convenient. 

Ask a lot of questions about the culture within the 4 walls!!

The Store Manager lacks the ability to be a real leader. If you seeking actual support, development, and growth don't have big expectations. You are also left with the feeling that if you are not "supporting" or criticizing them, you are deemed "a problem". 

It is still a growing brand, with that said it should certainly focus on structure, especially around professionalism (ie. leadership setting an example, communication, and collaboration), policy (ie. touch bases, corrective actions), and procedure (ie. holding those accountable, coaching behaviors, and enforcing expectations) .

My experience was HUGELY disappointing.







First of all the turn over with Faherty was frustrating. A typical day-,just putting stock out all day instead of assisting customers. They hire racist corporate employees for their company who love to pop in on a typical day just to put the management team down and gossip about other employees to other stores-Very unprofessional. 
There is no work culture or culture in general. They carry indigenous merchandise but treat indigenous people terribly. Especially employees with disabilities. The truth is going to surface more on how fake this company betrays themselves to be. 
They allowed other managers gossip about employees with mental disorders and disabilities, something that should never happen in the work place. They do not follow values. 
The only enjoyable part of the job-the marina near by. The hardest part of the job, watching the favoritism, never being recognized on anything good you did for the store. Sadly, NO gratitude. 

Too many people know or worked together from other companies. You really don't have a voice but remember if you do you'll definitely be penalized with hours or etc, etc. the managers never really take responsibility of their position half the time they go home early never close and put the responsibility on the sales lead. There is constant decite in the air. No team players due to management. Which sets the tone . Good vibes nope snake vibes. But the company really don't know what (etc)  is capable of their store their rules... I would say the team constantly talk about store management behind there back including Asm as well Just a negative environment for an 8 hour day. I'm over my misery good writtens 

Hands down, the company culture is un-like anything you'll experience in retail. Working with clothes and sales, sometimes Retail can feel drawn out, but with good music, live events in store and heavy engagement from the CEO's, you'll experience a true learning curve in having fun while working hard. 
The most beneficial and the most challenging part of the company is; you are part of setting the ground work for the company. With it just coming out of Start-up phase, there is expectations to hear and experience more grounded policies, ideas and work flows to stabilize the growing company. You will be the first phase of testing new things, giving feedback, and testing some more. It is a true learning experience.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I had great coworkers that were kind and helpful. I also always had something productive to do. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with multiple customers when there's a random rush but it wasn't difficult 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great! Everyone was understanding and made sure you were comfortable and doing well 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Greeting customers, assisting customers, organizing the backroom, replan the floor, be on the register. Everyone gets assigned a section so there's no confusion or anyone left not doing anything

The culture of Faherty is so much fun and everyone that I worked with was incredibly kind and supportive. However, they opened an outlet store and hired too many people, so most ended up only getting one 4-5 hour shift a week. They give you free clothes every X amount of time (I forget if it's monthly or quarterly) and everything is pretty well-made. It is a family-owned and -run brand that is also very environmentally conscious which they are very proud of and creates a cozy, friendly environment to work in. If you are inexperienced in sales, though, they don't give you tips and tricks so you'll have to experiment to see what works best for you.

This workplace environment is horrible to say the least. There is toxic,bullying,immense pressure and management that do not listen. It feels like a frat or some type of group you have to be in to succeed. Absurd!  They make you feel incompetent and yelling as if you're on punishment. While you do not receive commission. They pressure you to sell and add on so many items. 

Very unclear management, seems to value previous connections with workers to succeed and get hours. No communication of what can be done better instead given less hours for possible mistakes. Culture is nice but the lack clear communication and guidelines seems to be prominent issue
