kate spade Employer Reviews

You get dressed up and sell great product. Small company so movement is hard. It is a commission based but not completely.The hardest part of the job is merchandising the bags to keep it interesting. The most enjoyable is the atmosphere, it was like going to a party everyday with the customers.

Kate Spade was an amazing place to work. They offered a great compensation/ benefit package. The people I worked with had to be some of the friendliest people I ever met.

Kate Spade New York is a fun, exciting place to work with plenty for a sales associate to do in order to build sales and keep busy throughout the day. Maintaining an excellent, up-to-date client sales book is essential for this job, and while challenging, is the best way to really connect with clients and build relationships.

Kate Spade's culture is – more... one of color, adventure, and individualism. The sales staff supports and encourages each girl to be the best she or he can be, and management expects nothing but the best from the associates.

Unfortunately, after devoting two years to the company, I was not allowed to go home to visit family for the holidays because of strictly enforced "blackout dates," days blacked out on the calendar around the holidays when no one can take vacation time. This is fairly common in retail, but sometimes they are flexible. Instead of receiving harsh punishment for tickets I bought back in August, I decided to resign.

This company pays sales associates well (plus commission), and after a year, part-timers can receive part-time benefits. Management and those in charge can be a little (or a lot) disorganized at times, leading to some frustration. It might have been just in my district, but upper management was pretty hands off, even when our store was unceremoniously lifted of a store manager for almost seven months.

All in all, Kate Spade New York is a good place to work. You learn a lot about how to work with people, how to sell to people, and how to create and maintain relationships beyond the workplace. – less

Our business opened at 10 Am each day. The operations of opening were minimal, and rather pleasant. Working with the Kate spade brand would in itself be an adventure. Most of our guest were from Asia. In their country our product would be 4 to 5 times what we had as a MSRP. These were enormous figures, and not many would purchase. In our country, it – more... is more affordable to all. I would establish a Consultant/ Guest relationship, that would in turn be a opportunity for more movement of the product. Each Associate had their own Clientele book and would keep each guest informed on any upcoming sales/promotions. Our store also worked with send sales, (which were exciting) to accommodate each Client. We worked as a team ensuring that all received the sale/credit for his or her outreach.

Contest would be held to keep the excitement in the store and on the floor.
