Prada

Business different compare to pre-covid era, average sales associate only generate half of sales comparatively to good old times. Immediate compensation restructure should be implemented  , life is very hard here working for the number 1 brand in the world. 

The management at this location is essentially useless, compassionless, and selfish. 

Useless:
 No support or training on day to day task. but something goes wrong its your fault.

Implementing rules that complicates the structure of the business. Seems they just don't hold the ability to efficiently structure this store. 

No compassion: 
Its the nature of this business that we work crazy hours that takes up majority of your day or hoildays. But you can only miss so many birthdays or Christmas until your grandpa pass away; something like that.

Your loved ones or yourself can be on the death bed and management will still ask you if you can come in for a half day.

Selfish:
They'll not look after you or fight for your benefit. They will sacrifice you to their boss so they look good lol. 

Hope you have fun reading this, its exaggerated. 

Message to the management; if you care at all: "We sell clothes to wanna be or rich people, that's it. Its not that serious" I understand you have a higher up that sucks at their job and etc. but you are going to retire soon anyways, can you just look after who you called "team" "family" for once? Fight for us to get better pay or compensation, merchandise to sell, better work environment. 

Everything does not matter for me if the pay and the bullxxxt is at a equilibrium, but its just not.

A client from my previous employer was a manager there, and thought I was a great fit for Prada. I was recruited by her and received a job offer the day I had an interview by the store manager at that time. I learned about the different textiles and styles of Italian fashion, as well as working with studio consignment. Gift wrap was the icing on the cake for our clients, and I made sure their valuables were presented with class and flair. The most difficult part of the job was not knowing all of the prices of the timeless pieces in the different departments. Nonetheless, the most enjoyable was the provided uniform that was dry cleaned weekly, and of course, interacting with tourist.

Expect to do more than your job description, expect to train yourself, expect disrespectful associates who are not accountable for their actions, expect to take on responsibilities outside of your job description with no pay advancement (i.e. being a temporary key holder to fill scarce management positions but not getting paid to do it), if you are opening a new store expect over allotment, if you are not a flagship store expect only 1 stock person who has to mediate international and local shipping/ customer orders/ shipment/ transfers/ merchandising/ cycle counts of all departments per month and expect to look for something else within a year because you are burnt out.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They give a generous employee discount. My coworkers at the store level were supportive. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Corporate support was lacking. Unrealistic expectations. Did not feel appreciated. Work life balance was awful. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Much turnover. Unhappy employees at all levels 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Day is very structured. Every minute is assigned with a task. Large amount of call outs and staff shortages leads to increased stress

Inspected various merchandise.

Processed various customer transactions electronically and in cash receipts both in US and Japanese currency.

Performed various types of clerical work in administrative support of sales, inventory and accountability.

Some days I go to work I look for projects or assignments to  take on. I work well with assisting the staff and management in what ever it is they may need me to do. Whether it be sales, stock work, cashiering. The hardest part of this job is sometimes it gets slow and if you don't spread out your workload you will become bored. The store has so many expectations that need to be met that some days you can't find any problems to fix. The best part is there is no pressure to do anything in fact I welcome opportunities to  stay busy,

The days go by fast at Prada between making deadlines and having productive fun sales with the clientele who are making their buys for the season. Their is a high amount of stress involved for those who are not motivated, but if you love setting goals and accomplishing them, Prada is great. The co workers might cause drama here and then, as in all sales companies, but the drive to succeed as a company together leaves petty quarrels as something to laugh at for lunch.

I would get there at one and set up rooms for the kids. Then go to the school to pick up the kids from there classes. After we would have snack, homework and then play time. I learned that if I put my mind to it I can really help someone with all types of homework. the hardest part was sometimes doubting myself when it can to helping the kids with math but once I put my mind to it I was surprise of myself. The most enjoyable thing was seeing how much the kids enjoy me being there and seeing how much I have grown when it time to step up

Prada Group as a whole is a very micro managed company. I had a wonderful experience within my positions; however, it's important to be on the right team that compliments your skill set so that everyone succeeds. There is no opportunity for growth and too often the company hires externally as opposed to promoting from within.

Corporate management and the blatant disrespect for all workers
