If you come into a middle management position (Manager/Supervisor), beware that they will try to change your schedule as they please and your work/life balance will be pretty much nonexistent.  When I first started, they told me my schedule was 8-5pm then a month into the job, they switched it up on me. Being a single parent, it messed with my childcare arrangement, but I made it work nonetheless, even paid more money to have childcare available earlier in the morning. Even after that, they tried to book me for late meetings and expected me to work 12-hour days.  I'm an experience director that was working as a manager, so as soon as I started looking, I found another job and bailed. I usually give a 2-3 week notice as an attempt to not burn any bridges but this was the first time in my 23+ year career that I did not care and quit on the spot. Do not regret it one bit!

Well this company is a great place to work I'm not going to lie I have had very little training in what i do but I picked up things just fine since I like to ask a million questions and co-workers are always willing to help. I have learned production licence approvals and pre-production needs. management in my department needs to improve since I don't feel that the concerns we have as employee are being heard. The workplace culture is great like i said there is many amazing people with in this company. The hardest part of this job is keeping up with everyone's request and needs as my position is in the middle of all orders and we are in charge of getting orders out the door and after more than 3 yrs being in this company and not seeing any pay compensation makes me unmotivated and unappreciated. the part the enjoy the most if coming to work and seeing the great co-workers I have.

In the brief time that I've been here our department has hired roughly 7 more designers of various disciplines. We are not short of talent and we take pride in what we do. The workload is heavy, but manageable. My CD takes great care in assembling a strong crew and being a buffer when sales and merch make ridiculous demands (cough!) I mean requests. Despite all of this, the environment is very constructive and collaborative. My skill have definitely grown since I started here.

The company has gone through so many changes in ownership, leadership and direction it's impossible to know what's coming next. Leaders care about profit first, then customers, and employees are a distant 3rd place. Employees are expendable. They are continuously going through layoffs and restructurings. People come and go. There are a lot of talented people here, but the company is so dysfunctional, with unstable leadership, lack of direction, cumbersome procedures and manual processes, it makes it hard to succeed.

No clear professional progression for technical designers. Tech design department consistently over looked. Current director of tech department allows other department managers to dictate and create new processes for tech design without properly assessing how changes and additions affect logistics and timeline. This year tech design lost 100% of spec writers and 80%of pattern makers in which Tech designer absorbed the work. Tech designers still expected to hit deadlines with  No accommodations made for the lack of support.

Very little managerial direction at the Lewis Center office. They are known to leave an individual on their own to figure something out and then speak negatively of that same person if they do something wrong.
The president gets way to involved with small tasks due to an overall lack of trust. 
There are a couple of VPs there who talk down to just about anyone they converse with which causes very low morale.


We brainstorm and review the latest trends to incorporate new and fresh design looks for major apparel companies day to day. Everyday is always a new project from all the many clients we have to deal with. In such a fast and growing business in the fashion industry, you always have to keep up with latest trending looks. Especially with all the different cultural diversity each city, state, or region is styled. You have to be a very well-rounded designer.

working at hybrid is typically an easy job, plenty of opportunity to learn and work with AS400, UNITY and other software programs. management is highly supportive although their heavy workloads makes additional training/guidance hard to come by. Staff at hybrid is very friendly and always ready to help one another. and the most enjoyable part of this job is the great events the company puts on for the employees.

I use to work here for some while I loved working there  but for some reason I got fired then they hired me again and it happened like 3 times I e asked to go back cause I really did like the job and all I got was a “NO!!” I still have the msg of them saying that I enjoyed working there but it just didn’t seem fair to me

The company has had tremendous growth in a short time. With that said there have been huge growing pains along with lack of process and structure. An average day there is very busy and chaotic, fixing challenges/issues that arise and putting out fires.
