You can make lots on commission during prime bridal season, but be prepared to do work out of your job description.

Pros

Good team members. Good hours

Cons

Even if we did great one month, we would still have to write a "benefit statement" on how we could improve. If we are already doing great...shouldn't we just continue doing what we have been doing. During the busy season the money is pretty good. However, during the slow season part timers can go down to as low as 4 hours a week...and not commission. Its horrible, HORRIBLE pay. The chance of moving up is slim to none, and you work with a bunch of competitive females. Oh an if you like raises...dont work here. Been with the company 7 years and the haven't given one consultant a raise

Pros

You meet some very nice people, and helping people with their weddings can be a lot of fun! If you're getting married, you can get some amazing deals!

Cons

Ever seen the bridezilla shows? yeah... just imagine getting that kind of treatment from a customer at least once a week and then having your manager yell at you for an unhappy customer! Commission for part timers is rigged to make sure no can, so most of the time you get minimum wage. Management pushes unreal expectations and is overtly harsh when sky high goals are not met.
