David's Bridal reviews

I got promoted to the lead and made full-time and I thought it would solve the issues I had been having while thinking of quitting I should’ve quit in the first place because full-time doesn’t mean full-time when alterations isn’t making sales because they’re in an off-season goals are ridiculously high And don’t reflect much actual staffing or customers many months if we had made goal, we wouldn’t have been able to sew it and the process to send things out is not always reliable. Staffing could be good but aside from the lead David doesn’t really want to make other employees full-time And doesn’t want to progress the pay for workers as they improve their skills and can do more complicated work. Customer service at this company is also a joke on a corporate level because if there’s any issue, even if the customer is blatantly wrong, they are usually directed back to the store to just be given a refund Repairs are part of alterations and we are supposedly allotted hours for them but not when we have said that address should be MOS and then have to fix it anyway because the customer needs it and can’t order it but was told they can Hours are supposedly given for repairs and floor time but then there are meetings with corporate level people saying that whoever is doing floor time on the weekend shouldn’t be doing fittings and then store manager will tell that person to do fittings, and then complain that they weren’t on the floor Talking to customers You can work anywhere else. It is much advisable. There is too much stress put on the alterations department for not enough money for skilled work. Before I was the lead, when I was still learning the David’s way of a lot of things. The district manager told me to do a lace him in a way that quite frankly looked cheap and I said something about it not quite looking like it had before, and her response was the customer won’t notice. Our given beyond ones earned for sales are certainly not enough for that work, as there is always more to do than just the sewing of customers dresses, and the fittings, additionally fittings frequently run longer than their allotted time. (if a prom dress has as many layers as a bridal gown, does it make sense that the allotted time is still 30 minutes instead of an hour, for that matter, how does a two dress of a bridal gown compare with a ballgown) Very few options for modest brides and different shades of skin in the nude fabrics, which makes alterations job quite disgusting at times when you’re called out and have to tell someone that to make it not look like a white person Skin color would cost as much as a new dress. Additionally, stupid when manufactures defects, and somebody not feeling like they got enough attention in the trying on dresses stage means that often they get discounts on alterations or dresses or both As a lead alteration specialist, you are not technically a manager yet you perform many manager duties and are sort of expected to be on call at all times if there’s a really big issue or even a small one because they don’t know the answer
