Pros
Being able to connect with your bride/customer and give her that once in a lifetime moment of finding "the gown". I really enjoyed being able to put a look together for someone by listening to what they did and did not want. It very rewarding to build that bond with your bride to the point that she only wants to come back and work with you.
Cons
This job is not the "fun, let's play dress up all day" job everyone thinks it to be. It is A LOT of hard work. It is very physically and emotionally draining. HIgh expectations....LOW pay. As a full time consultant with highest average sales in my store I made $28,000 out of the $350,000 I sold in a year. You work on commission, but when you're sick or take vacation you only get paid $7.50/hr. I just feel this corporation does not reward their long time, hard working employees at all.
