Pros

Francesca's is a great company and it's very grass roots so you are definitely an individual and not just a store number. The management listens to what you have to say and they take it to heart. It is really like a family and there is an amazing work/ life balance.

Cons

The pay is lower than all other retailers. Since the company is growing so rapidly they are experiencing some growing pains. There can be a lag in communication between the stores and the corporate offices. They also have some half baked policies and procedures so there is wiggle room which can be good and bad.

Pros

Flexibility, great community, growth opportunities, supportive executives

Cons

Nothing about the business. Liquidation and closure of the brand was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.
