Johnny Was

This has been the most unprofessional, uncommunicative, unorganized, and most untrustworthy company I've ever worked for. There is no opportunity for growth, so don't even bother. They're constantly going through job demotions, lay offs, and store closures. Your job will not be secure whatsoever, and you'll never get a raise or promotion no matter how well you sell. Extremely toxic, high school behavior shown throughout the entire company, from HR to management. Save your time and apply elsewhere, every other company has starting pay the same or better. Do better and don't work for Johnny Was.

  Working at JW was a wonderful time in my life. I was able to grow in my career in a positive environment. Everyone brings their dogs to the office which is a great environment to work in and everyone acted like a team and acted like a work-family, regardless of the department they worked in. 
  As an associate technical designer I had my daily duties and always had very clear instructions from my Sr. technical designer. I will miss working for this company. 

Great company. Poor communication. Technology used at Johnny was was not user friendly. You needed to have basic computer skills to navigate the day to day operations and unfortunately the type of employees who work here are frankly kinda stupid. Made running a team quite hard and exhausting. The clients are needy here and expect for you to talk to them for a while. And as a company we perpetuate this kind of behavior from our clients. As a whole this company is great for anyone who is patient.  The pay is great for retail and you can make really good commission. 

Johnny Was is great if you have management experience and are looking for a place to settle in as a manager. Any growth beyond that is virtually impossible as the company’s infrastructure is stagnant. 

Upper management is catty and a lot gets swept under the rug here. But fortunately you have very little regular contact with them. 

I totally agree with the AI assessment online.  Overview
Reviews for Johnny Was stores, including Sawgrass Mall, often mention issues like low pay, poor management, and lack of growth, with some employees feeling the work environment is hostile or unprofessional, despite good discounts; however, some praise the brand's products and client base, while others find management practices inconsistent and growth opportunities stagnant. 


What is the best part of working at the company?
The monthly clothing allowance 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Disorganized, unprofessional leadership, particularly on the retail side of the business. Flagrant nepotism is demonstrated throughout the company beginning at the  CEO  Level. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Tangible (much needed) improvement since Oxford acquisition.

The highlight of the job was interacting with clients and enjoying the employee discount. However, the clothing quality was disappointing as it tore easily, perhaps explaining the generous discount. The workplace environment and culture leave much to be desired, lacking support and featuring some toxic individuals in management roles. The HR individuals  in California was also ineffective and provided little assistance from 2015-current. 

I would never recommend working at Johnny Was. The dynamic between upper management and store management at least for my region was extremely unprofessional and baffling to witness. I had no proper training when it comes to selling techniques as I had no previous clothing retail experience. The "culture" of the company is non existent and can be quite toxic. I am baffled by my experience with this company and will never again stand for maltreatment - even the slightest bit.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The store is smaller and  more intimate retail space.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
That retail has technology and each store has their own

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Classy and company is stylishly accommodating 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

Work a 4 or 5 hour shift 3 times in January
