Pros

The clothes are so beautiful, and we got a very generous discount. The details in the pieces are extraordinary, this is why the pieces are pricey. And if you want quality clothing, this is why it costs more than normal retail stores. Many people would love the clothing, but when they saw the prices, they would leave the store without purchasing anything. The sales would bring in people.

Cons

Very difficult to stand for an entire shift. Sometimes there was no one in the store, but we were still required to stand. Our regional manager was able to spy on us from the store’s cameras, to make sure we were all still standing. It made the shift seem to last forever. If someone entered the store, we would all stand up to help them, so I don’t understand why we had to remain standing with nothing to do. The floor was hard, too.

Pros

Many different categories and opportunities to learn Decent PTO 15 days after 1 year Summer Fridays (at will of leadership) I would recommend coming to this company at a senior level. I would not recommend working here longer then 2 or 3 years as an assistant or even an associate. The expectations are lower for new hires, especially at more senior levels, take advantage of it if you can.

Cons

Little to no job growth Barely any wage increase per year or through promotion Poor leadership Extremely Disorganized Toxic work place and management culture Poor work life balance with many teams expected to overtime with no extra pay
