Great Place to Work

Pros

The whole company has a very positive atmosphere. I get to be very involved in a customer's experience. The store lets you try on clothes while at work during a "first 15" so you have a good understanding on fits and styles to better suggest to customers. You also get trained very in depth on how to act with a customer and how to do every action on the cash register so when you are done training you actually know what you are doing. Also, if the store reaches its monthly sale goal then everyone gets a bonus dependent on how many hours you worked.

Cons

If you are shy then you may be uncomfortable talking so much to customers which is an essential part of the job. You must greet her, re-check on her after a few minutes, take clothes to the fitting room for her, check on her once she has been in the fitting room for awhile, and again once she seems about done to see if you can suggest any last unite pieces for her.

Pros

Great teams. Fun place to work

Cons

At the corporate level things are a mess. Business is down and they are all over the place trying to fix it without consulting what stores really need

Pros

The pay and benefits are decent for our area. This was a new location, and the pre-opening training was great - lots of trainers and managers from other stores came to help set up and train the managers and staff. It can be a fun place to work. The clothes are really cute, and it was enjoyable to create outfits and displays and use some creativity. They expect you to dress in the style of the clothes the store sells, but they offer a great employee discount!

Cons

At least in my store, the management and staff was well trained when the store opened (it was a new location), but there was a lot of turnover early on, and the later management wasn't trained sufficiently AT ALL. I was promoted to assistant manager and didn't receive any additional training except how to open and close the registers. I received a great deal of criticism from the higher ups about things I wasn't doing or was doing incorrectly, but that I hadn't been trained on. We were understaffed, I didn't have a store manager, and was left to my own devices. The pressure to meet difficult sales and credit card goals was intense and created an unpleasant work environment. I ultimately quit - between the unrealistic expectation and the work overload from being the only full-time employee while we were understaffed, this was not a good experience for me at all. I think the company has the potential to be a great place to work, and I hope that things are becoming more streamlined, and that they are investing in their team.
