Pros

-Generous salary and bonus program. -If you value the "stick" more than the "carrot" you will fit right in.

Cons

-A business model that guarantees staff will be overworked and customers will be under-served. Your consultants will assist two customers at a time, in back to back appointments for their entire shift. -Employee turnover (largely due to job dissatisfaction) is astronomically high in a business that requires a knowledgeable store team to properly serve the customer. -Sloppy top-down operational execution (largely due to a less-than-knowledgeable store team) resulting in furious or devastated brides who don't get what they believe they've paid for - you can look forward to talking to several of these customers daily, we call them TLC or CSI (customer service issue) brides. -You can also look forward to delivering AND receiving more Corrective Action Documentation at David's Bridal than you have in every other job you've had, combined, times two, squared. -Be prepared to have any and all prior leadership experience utterly disregarded. "It's different here." It sure is. -Go in knowing that the only recognition you will receive is on your paycheck. The culture here actively discourages thanking any member of the team for doing their job well.

Fun place to work and nice to be apart of something bigger.

Cons

Total revolving door for employees, managers and everything else. No commission and store is worn down along with systems.
