URBN

I was able to learn a lot at this job and improve many skills which was great. However, this company is known for overloading you with work without any promise of increased compensation.
I have gone through 3 different managers. Each telling me something different. No one was on the same page thus continuously setting me up for failure.
Continuously promised the opportunity to travel but when the time came, I was told no money in the budget.
I started here with a team of 4 working on my categories and its down to 2 yet they keep saying there is no money in the budget.
There is a lot of run around at this company but they try and keep you with 2 large holiday parties or birthday parties in your pod.
If anyone is going to work here, be sure to aim high in salary and do not let them go low-ball you!
There is no HR department here!

I’ve been here for 5 months and its the best job I’ve ever had. The hybrid model works perfectly for me. The campus is beautiful and the benefits are good. URBN definitely has a certain culture to it that I think is positive. All informal communication is through slack. Within Slack there are so many communities that help you connect with people from across the company in different departments. Everyone in my department is kind and supportive. Manager is very friendly and does not micromanage. Lots of flexibility. Pay is decent however I see a lot of potential for growth. A big example is the free linkedin Learning courses you can take that covers a wide range of skills. This can be taken at any time. There is a strong focus on mental health and as far as I can see they really make you feel like they care. I can see myself making a career here and plan to be here for as long as I can.

I have been an intern with URBN Inc's Anthropologie Home division for over a year, which has helped me grow as an employee, team member and individual. My job responsibilities consisted primarily of managing samples for crucial meetings, photo shoots and press events as well as relaying product information and photography direction to the web photo studio. There was never a typical day, as anyone in the retail industry could attest to. I learned how to plan a balanced assortment, communicate with vendors (both domestic and overseas) and work across departments to achieve an elevated, exciting and profitable product assortment for Anthropologie Home.

I really enjoy working at URBN. It is a collaborative work environment with some of the most interesting and creative people I've ever met. I see a lot of potential for growth in my job, but I think jobs here are also what you make of them. There's no "playbook" for every role, which gives you a lot of opportunity if you want to take advantage of it. 

I find my management team to be transparent and take employee feedback seriously. 

I have flexibility with my time off and there's a new policy that allows you to take time off to volunteer, which I love as I get to spend more time with a local cause I've been involved with outside of work. 

The days were always busy and productive with the right balance of fun. I learned about buying being able to participate in the process in a very hands on manner. I had a lot of responsibility which was great seeing as though I was only and intern. Most of the people in the office were very friendly and inviting. The hardest part of the job was keeping up with everyone in the office seeing as though it is a very fast paced environment and process. I loved being able to meet with vendors and help choose product that went to stores and online.

I have genuinely loved my time here. 
they let me leave when I need to and offer support when you are stuck. 

I have been here for some time now and they just refuse to pay employees more. All they discuss in business meetings is how well the company is doing and then give you the tiniest crumbs when it comes to pay increases. Also, all your bosses & associates will bonus but not the assistants so they will normally avoid promoting you so they don't have to offer bonuses. Additionally, every benefit they offer you on campus is to keep you working there later.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There are none unless you want to learn about toxic environments and stress.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Upper Management and the culture they create.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
On the surface everything looks perfect but it's merely a facade hiding the ugliness. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
10 hours with no time for lunch. Then also expect to be on the phone for a few more hours.

In my time at URBN I learned very quickly that one was making a trade off immediately upon employment. Sure you can bring your dog to work but that will cost you about 15 to 20 thousand dollars in salary to positions at comparable companies. Don’t be fooled by the cool campus, it’s all an illusion to overwork and under pay you. 

When I initially joined the company I was optimistic and felt like I belonged.

Eventually, I was overworked and made the black sheep of the team. Everyone wants you to be completely open about your life but turn around and use it against you.

The benefits of working on campus and having free parking were a plus but everyone is stressed. 

I interned in the Tech Design Department. This definitely isn't an area of the fashion industry I want to establish a career in. However, this internship was still a great learning experience and URBN is definitely an excellent company to be a part of.
