Brahmin Leather Works Reviews

The company continues to quickly go downhill. The inexperienced CEO doesn't understand the basics of running the business. As talented people quickly come and go, the company is left with the people who are not fit to complete their duties. This is a prime example of a "Mom and Pop" trying to make it big and failing.

When I was hired at Brahmin I was very excited. The product is beautiful, and I thought at the time, the opportunity for growth seemed promising. Almost immediately, though, you can sense an undercurrent of negativity mostly in response to behavior from the top. The CEO is one of the most insecure and unprofessional people I have encountered in my career (and I have worked in the fashion industry for 15+ years, so that’s saying a lot!). She has nurtured a "mean girl" culture by bullying her employees, pitting departments against each other and creating jealousy within departments by talking behind people’s back and undermining the team mentality. Witnessing her demean and ridicule employees behind their backs or publicly shame them is an almost daily occurrence. She creates a toxic work environment with little autonomy and employees afraid to express themselves for fear of humiliation. It not only stifles creativity but now I understand why after decades of being in business, and with such a great quality product, the brand hasn't reached it's full potential. It's shocking that during this time of awareness and enlightenment there are still female leaders who abuse their power. Choosing not to lead by positive example but instead lift themselves up by tearing others down. Unless you want to feel insulted, unappreciated and dismissed, my advice is to look elsewhere before applying for a job here.
