Pros

Guests are excited to shop at francescas creating a warm and happy environment. good place to get your experience to put on your resume.

Cons

Area and Regional Management are relentless in micro managing your business. They say "own your business" but they do not allow you to. You constantly have to send pictures to prove you are doing things their way, resulting in an environment with no trust. The management is very critical and no recognition or praise is given. The management team does not support you, they would rather throw you under the bus. Communication is one way, as they really do not show that they are listening to you, or care to. Expectations are very high, long hours, & very low pay. They tell you at the interview that there are bonuses, however, bonuses are unachievable, as they set your goals so high they are unrealistic and out of your control.

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