Pros

The great discount, and beautiful dresses.

Cons

This review is solely based on the store I worked at. I am unsure if the company's owners or CEO prefer the company be ran this way, or if they even care, but here it is: It seems to me that the company/upper management don't know the difference between an effective leader/manager and a non-effective one. They hire just to fill positions. Everyone is always threatened about write-ups for everything they do incorrectly or don't do at all regardless of the reason. Sales write-ups are understandble, but the very minor things, really? Can we at least be told the expectations beforehand, when training us? The training process is the worst I've ever seen. Employees, regardless of their position, whether they are the same, or below start training you, and days/weeks later you find out the material they gave you/ trained you on was incorrect. It's quite possible it didn't occur to them, that maybe if they had an experienced, knowledgeable manager with a higher level train you, you would've been trained the proper way, and there would be no question in what the responsibilities were, therefore no write ups/ or need for write up threats. The environment I worked at was based on friendship amongst all employees, associates and managers alike. There was no professionalism at all whatsoever. There was also plenty of miscommunication all around the table.

Pros

The company has a great culture and is led by a team of incredible executives. In the field, we are given the trust and freedom to run our districts like our own business. Leadership values my input and communication and expectations are clear. The the work-life balance is highly supported. Excellent bonus structure if your stores hit their targets. The company fosters growth from within and provides tools and training to help develop leadership skills. My peers and mentors create a collaborative and fun environment.

Cons

The stores are very fast paced so it can be challenging to retain employees. A car allowance would be beneficial for all the wear and tear we put on our personal vehicles with so much driving
