Pros

When I began employment several years ago, francesca's was a shiney beacon of hope in a sea of blood sucking retailers. I won't go into the details of what has changed here but lets just say the "pros" are gone.

Cons

Most everything. This was once the greatest retail environment I could have dreamed of. Proof positive that going public makes people do crazy things. It is no longer about the people (which it may never have been but at least it felt like it,) its about the green machine. Don't stand in their way or they will spit you out quicker than you can say fran. Matter a fact, it's best not to stand out in any good or bad way. Float under the radar for maximum success. Did I mention the payscale. Living wages please. This may work for employees in a two income household but us single people are eating mac n'cheese and ramen off this pay. Thank you for my waif-ish physique.

Pros

Freedom with visual merchandising - opportunity to be creative and really make the store your own.

Cons

The company is quick to do outside hires, rather than promoting talented and seasoned employees from within. The company is expanding too quickly, and they are not certain in which direction they are headed. Upper management has high expectations, but employees are not given the tools to succeed. They are slowly taking away employee benefits but have higher expectations of their employees than they did two years ago.

Pros

Great discount, fun work environment, great products.

Cons

Beyond low pay. Worked over 40 hours more weeks then I could count and got nothing for it. They tell you about the bonus program but they set the goals so high that you'll never make the bonus. Forced to work alone for hours, doing visuals and tasks alone. No sick days and hardly any PTO days. Raises are a joke, almost an insult.
