Pros

Loyal customers that love the store Boutique Feeling Great product selection Family like staff, the small number of employees leads to interdependence.

Cons

Changes in upper management lead to A LOT indecision, every SINGLE day there is a new policy or new method for conducting business. This constant shake up leads to a lot of confused and disgruntled employees. The recent removal of all employee incentive programs- bonuses, gift cards for high performance, and regional competitions, decreases employee motivation. Also the company does not take the time to train its employees and managements to cultivate a cohesive culture. Instead, a copious amounts of time is spent to improve boutique visuals; meanwhile the employees (and sometimes management) posses little to no interpersonal communication skill.

Pros

Work directly with the latest fashion. You also have a great opportunity to learn about the industry, how they operate and about the merchandise. Employees also gain relationships with customers.

Cons

It is hard to grow into a higher position in this boutique. Francesca's does not really hire within the industry. If you are a boutique associate, it is hard to maintain a consistent schedule.

Pros

The clothes are cute but they are cheaply made and most fall apart.

Cons

Francesca's will mentally drain you and cause you to no longer have passion for the industry. Through my years with them I watched them drain so many talented individuals. They underpay for every single position at the store level, not to mention they have recently officially dropped every bonus incentive program for all store level employees. By far the worst company I have ever worked for. I wouldn't recommend this company to even my worst enemy.
