Pros

Helping soon-to-be-Bride's with one of the biggest decisions for their wedding is extremely rewarding. The atmosphere in the salon is generally very upbeat and happy. Everyone, while I was working there, got along very well. There was a healthy amount of competition between salespeople.

Cons

The way the commission is set up screws you if you are trying to work a lot of hours. You're better off only coming in on Saturday and Sunday and by appointment, those are the only days you make sales- therefore the only times it isn't hurting you to be there.

Not a good place. There are much better places to go

Pros

It’s supposed to be a positive environment. Brides do like some of the dresses and they are not expensive to buy. It’s good for someone who doesn’t know what it’s like to work there

Cons

Quality of in store product. Management underlying flakey, not genuine. The overall store cleanliness. The pay is not good. There are too many passwords and Manager wasn’t interested in questions. I’d be embarrassed if I was one of the designers who put my dresses there. I had to listen to the Manager talk negatively about brides after they left. I also had to wait until she was finished talking to the other employee about her pain today before I could get an answer for my customer. Stains on the gowns and rips.
