Pros

Rhonda Lapachelle is the best DM . Fair, honest and great boss. The company is big on family and down time for employees and care about everyone's well being. For me pay was fair for what's ask of you. Only expect 40hrs a week for management even if you're short on staff.

Cons

Beware of approaching shoplifters. We are told the company doesn't care they steal stopping it isn't worth losing the client or the complaints. We are told the company loss prevention doesn't care shrink is high so don't put your job on the line worrying about it. Stealing from Francesca's is a huge problem. 99,% of shoplifter are over privileged Johnson County kids that has been allowed to walk in take items to fitting rooms and steal especially jewelry and you're supposed to not say anything about it. If you do they complain to their parents who then call the corporate office screaming how their spoiled over privileged kids do not steal and how rich they are.

Pros

- a young group of people usually working at all stores - your manager can make the experience wonderful, the main store I worked at I had the best manager who truly cared about her team. She would take us for lunch and always cared about us, she was the only one who had our best interest.

Cons

- fashion there is so awful - there are sooo many scripted conversations they demand you have - your training videos show who is running the company: old white dudes that are so disconnected from modern-day shopping - the corporate system quite literally ruined this company, they never reached out or cared really about the connection between the consumer and the store. So out of touch - Also Jesus pay your employees more people.

Pros

Sample sales, the only pro this company has

Cons

This was the worst company I have ever worked for--I worked in the corporate office Here is why: -World's most cliquey company -The comments on great corporate culture make me laugh, this is a lie -Some decent upper level management but more mid level managers were an absolute mess -If you want to be micromanaged, this is the place for you -If you want 10,000 pointless emails a day nitpicking your work, this is the place for you -High stress and no work life balance, worked the job of 3 people. They definitely watched people and how long they stayed after work hours. Many times this was a determinant if you "worked hard". If you wanted to have a normal life and leave at 5, it was considered lazy and you weren't pushing yourself enough. -Would get rude and condescending emails from my boss -Most people lasted about 6 months-1 year here -They would promote people who had no business being promoted with no to little experience -Almost every day at lunch I fantasized about driving away and never coming back -Expected you to work on vacation -Crappy pay, crappy 401k matching -Many managers had complaints against them, but they don't do anything about it there
