Guess Inc Employer Reviews

Picked up great managerial skills with the Guess company Learned a lot about the fashion retail industry and how to properly manage a retail store.

Guess is moving into a very superficial means of onboarding and its work environment. They are more focused on him/her's physical apearance than their ability to deliver results. It made me too uncomfortable after some time.

I loved working at Guess Inc. The people were positive and always had a fun outgoing personality.

GREAT job overall. Typical work day was 5-6 hours, depending on your sales for the week. That determines your schedule. I learned my selling ppotential and how the sales environment really is. You have to be someone's temporary best buddy, be bubbly, fun, loving, and helping at every point in the day!...which was great for me because I love to do those – more... things anyways, but it gets hard sometimes. The management takes care of your needs and schedule very well. LOVED my co-workers, except a couple, hardest art is having a terrible sales day, which in reality does hapen to everyone sometimes. Or having a very horrid customer, which hapens as well.The most enjoyable part of the day is when you get a customer that has an event to go to and you can spend an hour just trying things on and adding to their rooms, and they end u buying 300 dollars worth of merchandise! – less

hard to advance your career with this company without being a suck up.

Working in Guess Inc. I had a seasonal position which made my work performance stronger because I knew that in order to keep the job I had to show the managing staff that I could be a good asset to the company. A typical day at Guess would be full of energy,very fast paced, what I liked most is that they had a live DJ in the store which made the store – more... more attractive to the customers. Guess Inc. was my first retail job where I learned how to help more than one customer at a time. The co-workers and management was very friendly and easy to bond with which made me eager to come to work. The hardest part of the job was getting used to approaching people and breaking the nervous feeling, but in time I've gotten better at it. – less

I worked many retail jobs before settling in at Guess. They are a forward thinking company that puts its people first. I hear every week on our conference calls that our people are our best asset. I personally and many of my colleagues have been placed on acceleration plans for advancement within the company. They love to hire and promote from within. – more... There is a strong selling culture in the stores, high visual standards and the expectation that you will work hard but be rewarded for it. – less

A typical day at work I would open the store make sure it was "show time ready" cleaning, replening, making sure that the store was maintained on a visual level as well as operational level. I learned many skills about retail and running a store from a internal and external prospective. my co-workers were always great to work with as I made sure to – more... keep the selling culture and over all aura of the store positive, the hardest part of the job was making sure that everything was in order for corperate visits as the store was a flag ship store we had many visits. in the end of it all the best part was feeling accomplished knowing that the job was done and seeing the numbers roll in. – less

I loved the management team. We had a very strong sales associate team.

Working in this companies has been a great and wonderful experince, i have learn and grown aswell as thought a couple of my own. I am still anxious to earn even more with this company aswell as with other oppourtunities i can get.

Started as the 28th person hired and grew with the company as it expanded to a million dollar corporation as it stands today.

assist customers.forecast sales to meet goals. make sure store is properly staffed

At the time management was unwilling to work with difficult schedules. There was a high employee turnover rate. However this was a while ago and it could be different now.

guess inc was actually good managers were very fair flexible work schedule co workers were great

a typical day at work would start off early in the morning. everyone would talk about the set goal of the day and that'll be the start of the day. i learned how to be a professional sales associate. this was my first real job so i learned how to used the register and just about everything a sales associate needs to know. my co-workers were friendly, – more... responsible team members who love their job. the hardest part of the job was leaving. i loved being there and i never wanted to leave. the most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with other people. – less

It's a great learning experience if you want to get your hands wet in retail sales. And if you have a way with words and a sparkling personality, breaking even for commission shouldn't be a problem.

But if you don't... well, like I said. It's a great learning experience.

Typically, on a regular day at work, you come in, "work" the front and just look – more... for something to keep busy. Refolding and rearranging displays to keep the store front looking visually appealing. Always make sure to keep your eye on the door for walk-in's. Sometimes district managers and other higher-up's come in unexpectedly and if they're not greeted, I heard it could cost you your job.

Management and scheduling is okay. Just like anywhere else, get someone to cover for you if you're not going to be able to come in and you'll be okay. I'm not sure if it was like this at other Guess stores but they kept messing around with my scheduling which got very irritating... If you have really good managers then you learn really fast, picking up great tips along the way such as getting personal with customers and learning more about them to increase sales... because who wants to just take a stranger's word for everything, right?

The hardest part of the job was securing sales and all the goals that they set for us. A lot of people were "just looking" and it was hard to not come off as pushy or harassing. You have to know what to say and not ask any "open-ended" questions because it gives people room to say no.

ie. "How's the weather outside, I haven't left this table all day!"
"What are you doing this weekend? Have you decided what you're going to wear yet?"
"I have to show you what just came in, this would look great with that skirt you're trying on!" etc.

The most enjoyable part of the job was the fit sessions. You grab a bunch of things you want to wear and go try them on. During work. While getting paid to do so. I think this is because you don't get the opportunity to keep trying to get those sales and because your wallet tends to hurt afterwards. Fit sessions are usually done during really slow hours though, so they're fun. – less

I loved working here because I love there clothing. It was nice working here because of the discount you get at there store. The hours werent good and there didnt seem to be a real goal set for advancement. But I would still recommend working here its really fun.

Much of my customer service skills have come from Guess. They are a decent company to work for, but there is little employee appreciation or hope to move up within the company.

You get to meet a lot of different types of people and you learn people skills. Customer service is a very important part of the job. Management is awesome everyone is very helpful. My co-workers are always really nice sometimes we all make plans to meet after work to hang out. The hardest part of the job is the limited amount of hours given to employees – more... its best to have a second job. The most enjoyable part of the job is the discount and bonus' we receive when we meet out monthly sales goals. – less
