Pros

Benefits were good if working in the corporate office Free stuff Casual dress Work-life balance

Cons

With so many women working in one place, it could feel a little like high school at times. The company just laid off a ton of employees, so I would advise not working there if you want job security. They laid off people that had been there for years. The company will most likely be bought out by another company or completely close.

Pros

I liked having control over my store with respect to visuals and culture. They give you a baseline to go off, but since every store is unique I was able to curate looks that resonated with my market more closely. As a BTL, I also LOVED my 50% off discount!

Cons

The company has implemented a LOT of changes, very quickly. We don't get much training at all around the changes, but are expected to lead them with our teams. Our district managers are so focused on conversions and email capture rates, that selling seems second rate. The culture of Francesca's is supposed to be welcoming and inclusive, but it is changing drastically into an extremely pushy selling environment, which can make a lot of guests feel uncomfortable. I've had many regulars leave my store when upper management was visiting, because they shoved "the promise" down their throats in such a disingenuous way.
