Kering

RUN!!!! Kering Bridgewater is the most strange, unprofessional and unethical environment I’ve ever encountered. Talent and ability mean absolutely nothing. The downfall of most companies is mismanagement and Kering is no Exception. Unqualified managers who abuse their power are allowed to determine the direction of the company and the lack of skill set and ability is greatly apparent. Most of the people in Management are  unprofessional, under-qualified, spiteful and I won’t discuss the gossipy, spiteful and surreptitious Human Resources team. There is a lack of true ability and empathy which contributes to the overall unhappiness of the employees. The office environment is comparable to a high school cafeteria where high level managers compete and gossip With their employees or create situations to have them terminated. I hate to use this word but Kering Bridgewater is a “clique environment”. After a few days on the job it becomes immediately evident that “DOG eat DOG” and “align yourself
With the right individuals to
Succeed” defines the company as well as the culture. Talent and skill set are completely disregarded.

i usually dont really like writing bad comments, but at McQueen NYC they are not professional at all, i did a really good interview with them and they make me feel that everything was GREAT and that i gonna be contacted by the HR soon but i never received the call... at the interview she mentioned that i can email her for any questions, so i did.. and send 3 emails in total and no responses...( not nice because i can still be a costumer one day and that can be weird to meet) but, she came back to me after 1 month waiting saying that she was busy, ok of course... to me she should come back to me before and be honest and answer back with a simple mail to let me know what is going for "me" to accept or not my others offers  ( i was waiting because i did really love the brand and i did work for the same group in Paris before, so thinking that gonna help to get the job ) but the people who work at the shop in NYC  (director & manager )  are not really following up and clear, it can be a problem for something else if you work there one day so be careful. i still think, Is it of course a honor to work with one of the best luxury brand. And for the HR, he or she is maybe great but i never had the chance to meet this person. 

Working at Kering I was able to immersive myself into the fashion world. You learn a lot from the different brands you handle calls for. The discount was great, great benefits. 

No ability for growth in my opinion. Feels like you get stuck at the same position, doing the same thing and stuck in the same shift. Not a great work-life balance. Handled about 6 brands and wasn’t compensated enough for it. Bonus structure was bad. Sales goal would be unattainable at times. Management is too reliant on numbers and not the actual staff. Try to implement things that don’t work. Promote mediocrity instead of the hard workers with multiple years under their belt working in luxury. Try to fix things that aren’t broken. Overworked staff with low coverage and inability to add more people. Aftersales process is horrible and very meticulous. A lot of the departments aren’t in sync with one another.

The US IT division was run by management that had no idea what they were doing. The management had a great vocabulary of Buzz words and catch phrases, but looked to all the consultants to tell them how to get their job done. When a consultant explained that a process was not working or was being executed incorrectly, that consultant was usually told in very unprofessional terms that you didn't know what you were doing if this did not align with the thought process of the management. Meanwhile, if something did get fixed, that same management was quick to take credit for your work as "I finally found a consultant that can do what I instruct them to do".  Extremely unprofessional work environment.  Constant turnover ... Then Kering outsourced everything to Tata and still needed other consulting companied to tell them how to run things.

I was on contract for 18 months before they let me go in 2021. The department was bustling and superb to work in. The things I liked the most were the people in our department and the general workflow. Accounts Payable was split into approvals and payment processing, with each employee sharing the workflow. The busiest time was during the end-of-month close. Overall, I had a great experience working there and wished I could have stayed on.

What is the best part of working at the company?
No comments here. I worked for creed , my AE was a jerky, I left before he ruins my reputation. Other says the same about him 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Gossip, lack of support by the Account Executive

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Superficial , demanding, did not get deep inside the company structure. I worked for Creed, a division of KERING

It’s a great company, if you don’t mind being under paid and given ridiculous workload. Leadership sucks terrible, no one seems to care that the employees are overwhelmed with work- no matter how long you’ve been there, asking for a pay increase is like pulling teeth. They won’t hire enough people in other to distribute the work, so one person gets to do too much 

Kering eyewear has horrible management they are not supportive and don’t care about their employees. Management needs to be revamped from the top. Most staff is great to work we. As with most companies just a few bad apples in important roles.

Horrible Company you can’t believe who’s running it!  Unqualified lazy managers you are reporting to.  I literal could never count on anyone but myself in this role zero support!  BA’S are a revolving door managers stay because it’s a cake walk for them they don’t work!  Don’t let the brands fool you the don’t sell and the job is a grid !  

Big Company , Lots of reports, most opportunities are in the fashion divisions.
Travel for management meetings to Switzerland or Milan. Italian company, you always eat well1
