it was a pleasure working for Safilo they gave me room to sale the way i wanted and never pressured me to do numbers like most companies. i didnt hurt that i enjoyed the brands i sold and some of the stores i worked for. the only downside to working for them was not even the company itself but the store which buy the merchandise, some department store can be nightmares to work for, in turn making your job harder to do. every manager at department store are on some kinda ego trip and even if you don't directly work for them it affects you. they only problem i ever had with Safilo is the opportunity for advancement within the company after a while selling its not enough, specially when i felt i was capable to take on other responsibilities of products i loved, but i was never given a chance; and pass over after i had worked so hard.

I loved working at Safilo!! What makes it so enjoyable is the amazing team and environment that supports you throughout everything. 

My manager was amazing!! He was always there if you had any questions and always supported you within your role and how to execute your job responsibilities with ease, care, compassion, and understanding. 

The people are what make this company feel like your second family. Employees are very warm, welcoming, and make you feel right at home from training to expert level. I highly recommend working for this company! 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Freedom to make my own choices but still held accountable for productivity.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Company response time or just not doing anything (issues unresolved).

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A lot of talk about team cohesion but very few participate due to conflicting brand sales.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Visiting clients (sales), preplanning and trying to schedule appointments.

Managers delegated responsibilities equally to each person and every day was busy preparing the financial data for internal and public reporting. I enjoyed the people who I interacted with in other departments and learned how a well rounded team can make the difference in a fast-paced environment. Overall, I worked 17 years here and will say only good things about the products and management.

Lacking stability, leadership, accountability, teamwork, organization in the workplace, managers are over worked and sometimes can’t find time to support their team(s) efficiently. Low Pay, compensation is hard to come by. Long hours and below average pay. Loyalty, commitment, family based company it once was, is no longer in existence. More expats less American. Cut wages, discounts, no employee engagements. You work to get paid only.

Constantly stripping away benefits, treat you like a piece of meat and toss you a rare treat. When I started there were people working 20+ and 30+ years for the company. I mean a lot of them. Every fifth year at the holiday party they brought them up and gave them awards. Usually 30 or 40 long term awards every year. They all saw the writing on the wall and jumped ship. Last year I was there like five long term awards.

Safilo is a very nice place to work. People are polite, kind and genuinely care for one another. Senior management is very reasonable too. It can be challenging dealing with the Italian counterparts at times due to cultural differences. There is not much opportunity for carrer advancement with this company.

Everything was great until I got promoted. On my first day of my new promotion someone (I suspect I know who the culprits were) went around saying I was trying to push my lead out so I could take her job. The worst part, my lead and supervisor believed it. I was alienated, put on morning shift for "training" for over a month and recieved no training whatsoever. Avoid this place.

Safilo USA was a great company to work for while I was there. It was a friendly work atmosphere with much room for growth. One of the most challenging parts of the job was the increased work pace and hours leading up to market week. One of the most enjoyable parts of the job was being a member of a wonderful team!
