Stressful job, unorganized company, rude managers, little pay.

Pros

Working with brides for their special day is a very fun experience!

Cons

It is hard to push someone to buy a wedding dress when they are clearly not ready to buy it or cannot afford it, which is what the managers wanted us to do. We were expected to handle up to three appointments at a time constantly without a minute in between. The managers were very rude and very unorganized. I am a college student and they were constantly scheduling me when I had class, despite the fact that I gave them my school schedule several times already. The environment of the store was very busy and very stressful.

Long days, little pay

Pros

The brides are really fun. Finding the perfect gown is always fun and the coworkers are awesome.

Cons

Hours on your feet. Absolutely NO downtime. Pay is not worth the trouble. You can work your butt off for hours with a bride only to have them walk out the door, or some lookie loos will come in to try on gowns with no intention to buy. Our pay is based on commission, so that's frustrating. You'll need another job to make ends meet if you work here.
