Guess Employer Reviews

My typical day at work involves either opening or closing the store. Since I have been acting store manager for 6 months I would do all operational things. Visuals and merchandising, scheduling, managing sales reports, meeting sales goals both personal and store level. I have learned a lot about what it means to be a strong leader and how to set an – more...  example for others. I have also learned a lot about what I am looking for in a job. I enjoy an organized environment that values their people and helps to develop them into their full potential, I don't feel like I received this with Guess? The hardest part of my job at Guess is the hours. I have two young daughters and I don't want a job that requires me to work nights and every single weekend. The most enjoyable part of the job for me is interacting with people. I truly enjoy getting to meet new people. For the most part my co workers have been great, people are not always going to get along but learning to be tolerant and communication is key! – less

I learned a lot in the 4 years that I worked at Guess. I had a lot of experience in retail throughout the years, but this company put me above and beyond with training me. I transitioned from a part timer to a full time employee with certain responsibilities to ultimately promote me to management. I had a great 4 years there, but I felt it was time – more...  for a different atmosphere. With every goodbye, is a new beginning. – less

great employee benefits, i had a great manager, very fast paced during the holidays, be aware of everything around you especially theft.

Its a very intense selling setting especially in the Galleria. You need to be ready to meet very high selling goals.

The politics for this company is ridiculous. They give you a "call-in" 3 days out of 7, where they may or may not need you, without any actual hours for atleast two weeks. So, if you dont work for two weeks you have no paycheck by your next pay period. They pay minimum wage and expect you to buy their over priced clothes. Ofcourse you have to wear the – more...  companies clothes, but if you make minimum wage, only had 4 hours of work for 2 weeks and the discount is only 40 percent- there goes most if not all of your paycheck. – less

I really enjoyed my job here. just not enough hours. i also felt that in this company there was no room for advancement. They offer min wage and min hours so its really hard to make this a full time job.

Being in to fashion and clothes, working at Guess can be a fun place to work at. To be able to give customers your opinion on clothing and build outfits for them.

I loved working at GUESS. It was a real fun and enjoyable work place.

Though one of the better paying retail chains, it is simply not worth the money you make. Once given the store, you are on your own. This is not to say you are autonomous, but rather that no help will be given on any level. I was hired to staff and open a store, which is not a problem, but I had one week to find and train a management team, 40+ sales – more...  associates, stock associates; while also directing the visuals, building all displays, unboxing, tagging, pricing, hanging, and steaming all product, and so forth. I held up my end of the bargain by building a solid team. Not perfect, but solid. Our controllable numbers were superb: 20-25% conversion on a weekly basis, 3+ minimum UPTs, and an ADT that never dropped below $80 on any day. Our traffic never met expectations, but also I was never given the permission to have our name put on the directory or anything to spread the word of our arrival. Mall management begged me to allow them to use our name and product to advertise the mall itself, but I was told no. Guess wants you to achieve New York goals with a slum budget. Joining this team was the worst mistake of my career – less

Great company and amazing people along with management. But due to the small amount of hours it is not convienent enough for me at the moment. So I'm looking for a job with more amount of hours.

Overall the company was an alright company to work for, until management changed. There are very strict rules there, and the employees that work there can cause a lot of drama. The discount for the merchandise was great comparably to other retail stores. During holidays the environment is a lot of fun with DJ events, and a lot of new trends and trendy – more...  up to date music is played. Fun for young, and highly optimistic people, but there are downfalls with sometimes the drama that goes along. – less

As a sales associate i enjoyed using my skills to sell many pieces of clothing and accessories. I learned many details of a clothing store and many techniques to approach customers in a respectful manner.
