Pros
I work here part-time during the semester and over the summer. At first I thought it was going to be fun. The discount is okay for BAs, it's only 30% but if you put that much stress on your workers to sell the stuff you might as well make them able to afford it! Things here are overpriced and sometimes not even worth it. I would say I'm good at "selling" and fulfilling the promise of the company, but management is too pushy on it's team... I mean, we're just people we're not superhero's and we can't replenish and sell and do the cash-wrap all at the same time for just minimum wage... I really hate that the pay is so low for just BAs... I know this is just a boutique, but if you ask for a lot of work don't expect good work for minimum wage.
Cons
Another thing... our district manager was just really stressful to be around. Honestly, nobody likes her and she just makes things stressful/hostile in the workplace. I don't understand why she was in our store in the first place she just made everyone uncomfortable, it's like you can't move an inch without her criticizing your work. She, herself, is not a perfect human-being so how does she expect us to be. I feel like she had an advantage just because she is the district manager. She was allowed to be on her phone and she was allowed to be in the back, but when it came to everyone else... NO. The amount of pressure that this certain District Manager put on Boutique Managers, Assistant Boutique Managers, and Key-holders was TOO MUCH! So if our bosses were stressed that also stressed out the boutique assistants. First of all... don't be mad at the people working in the stores when they don't make their day, second of all... don't ask what they were doing the day before... like goodness gracious... They didn't make their day, it doesn't mean that they aren't doing their job... STOP FORCING THEM TO MAKE PEOPLE BUY STUFF... it's rude and inconsiderate and you're not delighting your guest... you're making them uncomfortable.
