Business Outlook

Pros

Discount is amazing and through the online Vanity fair discount, the family of brands owned by Vanity Fair are within reach at reasonable prices. Personal development is monitored at a decent distance and matters to the company. Hours are flexible, depending on good management.

Cons

Turnover rate is just abysmal. As a floor supervisor, regular associates would not have much but the employee discount to keep them coming to their shifts. If you want to get hours for the money, this company can't give it unless you work at the higher volume stores. Pay rates are not very competitive when looking at the amount of work needing to be accomplished by any position.
