Fashion Careers by Company Name — Page 4

Page 4 completes the Apparel Search fashion careers directory by company name, covering employers from Reebok through Zumiez — the R, S, T, U, V, W and Z letters. Off-price and value powerhouses anchor the range (Ross Stores, TJX, Target, Walmart), athletic and outdoor names run through it (Reebok, Skechers, Timberland, Under Armour, VF Corp), and it closes with specialists from Talbots and Tommy Hilfiger to Wilsons Leather, Wolverine World Wide, Zegna and Zumiez.

Every link below opens a company career guide in this section, explaining the employer's role families and the official channel for applications. The range includes some of retail's largest current hirers alongside names that have closed or shrunk — Sears, Shopko, Stage Stores, Stein Mart, Syms and Wet Seal among them — and each guide states its company's position factually, so your applications go to live employers and your reading on closed ones still builds useful, transferable knowledge.

Off-Price Scale and Athletic Depth

Ross Stores and TJX run the off-price model — lean stores, opportunistic buying, enormous distribution networks — and their buying and planning careers are unlike department-store equivalents: buyers hunt closeouts and packaway stock across the whole market rather than planning a season with a fixed vendor list. Target and Walmart add general-retail scale, where apparel is one large category among many and the fashion-specific roles concentrate in private-brand design, technical design and merchandising at headquarters scale.

The athletic and outdoor names hire for product credibility. Reebok, Skechers, Timberland, Under Armour and VF Corp's brand portfolio all run design, product development and footwear-specific roles alongside their store networks, and their store staff are expected to sell performance technology, not just sizes. Wolverine World Wide belongs in the same conversation — a footwear group whose brands span work, outdoor and lifestyle — while Zumiez and Urban Outfitters show the youth-specialty version: smaller stores, culture-fluent selling, and buying tuned to a defined customer tribe.

The Closed and Changed Names of R–Z

This final range holds several complete closures: Syms (2011), Wet Seal's store era, Shopko and Stein Mart (whose name also relaunched online), Stage Stores in 2020, and Sears as a full-line department store. Their guides are historical records of real career structures — off-price and department-store selling, buying offices, distribution — written so the experience earned there can be described in terms surviving employers recruit for. Sara Lee's apparel businesses, similarly, were spun into what became Hanesbrands, which is where that guide directs product-career readers.

Other names changed shape rather than ending: True Religion passed through restructurings and trades on; Victoria's Secret became a standalone public company in 2021; Wilsons Leather closed its stores and continues online; Russell Athletic sits inside Fruit of the Loom's group. As everywhere in this directory, the rule is simple: read the guide for the current position, apply only through the channel it names, and treat any third-party listing that contradicts it — a store job for a chain whose stores closed — as the stale posting it almost certainly is.
